Utah County commissioners approve contract negotiation with Hemco LLC and partners

The Utah County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on Feb. 1 to remove Item 15 from the table and authorize further negotiation or award of a contract involving Hemco LLC, Legislative Executive Consultants and Lincoln Hill Partners.

Speaker 3 moved that the board approve Item 15 “with the further negotiation or award of contract with Hemco LLC, legislative executive consultants, and Lincoln Hill partners.” Speaker 2 seconded the motion; Speaker 1 called for the vote and the motion passed 3-0.

The motion as recorded authorized staff to proceed with negotiation and potential award of the contract; no additional details about the contract value, term, or scope were provided in the meeting record. The board had previously held Item 15 for discussion after an earlier consent-agenda review.

Alice, the clerk on the record, confirmed the board’s earlier consent-agenda adjustments and the schedule for closed sessions, then the board reconvened to take Item 15 off the table and vote.

No public comment on Item 15 was recorded during the open meeting portion surrounding the vote. After the approval the board took a final motion to adjourn and ended the meeting.

The record shows the vote as unanimous among the three commissioners present (3-0). The transcript did not specify the dollar amount, implementation date, contract manager, or whether the contract award is contingent on additional approvals.
