3 issues with medium priority
Elections litigation executive session
The court will go behind closed doors to consult the county attorney about a federal lawsuit involving the Elections Administrator. Any action comes back in open session.
Jail food service contract going out to bid
The county plans to issue RFP #1288-26 for the detention center's food service contract and appoint a commissioner to the evaluation committee. Competitive bidding could change the vendor serving jail meals and the county's contract costs.
County Equipment and Vehicle Fleet Upgrades
The court approved a batch of big-ticket purchases: a Tahoe for Constable #4, a wheel loader and UTV for Road and Bridge, a replacement F-250 for facilities, and new fire reporting software. Commissioners questioned why vehicle quotes came in over budget and discussed adding a buffer to future budget requests.
