Commissioners approve services agreement with L & D Mail Masters for tax bill printing and postage

Treasurer Christie Branch presented a services agreement with L and D Mail Masters for printing and mailing Howard County tax bills and asked the board to approve the contract and associated postage estimate.

Branch told commissioners the county has used L and D Mail Masters for the last six years to print and mail tax bills. She said postage is an estimated fee due before printing begins and that the estimate is "the $20,000," adding the final cost will be determined once bills are completed and mailed. Branch estimated the county’s tax bills would be mailed on April 7.

Commissioner Speaker 7 moved approval of the agreement; the board seconded the motion and voted to approve. Branch said any additional postage will be included in her final invoice if necessary.

The action authorizes the treasurer to proceed with the printing and mailing process under the presented agreement. County staff indicated they will provide a final postage invoice once printing specifications are complete.
