Staff informed the commission that the contract with Indiegov (also transcribed as Indiegov/Indigo) has been ended following formal notice. Matt Billingsley said he sent the cancellation notice on Sept. 16 and received acceptance on Sept. 17.
"I sent the notice on September 16 to cancel the contract of Indiegov, and I received notice on September 17 that they accepted that notice," Billingsley said. Members noted the contract will end in December; Billingsley said "Contract ends December 16," though another speaker later said "26," creating a date discrepancy in the record. When Senator Sykes asked whether there were any penalties for canceling and for the total amount paid under the contract, Billingsley said he was not aware of any penalties and that he would provide the spending total later.
Why it matters: canceling a vendor contract affects service continuity and budget reconciliation; members sought the spending total to understand fiscal impact. The transcript records the cancellation notice and the vendor's acceptance but does not provide a final cost figure in the meeting.
Next steps: staff will supply the total amount spent and any additional contract details on request; the contract termination date should be confirmed in the administrative record.
