Board approves routine claims and major purchases; Raycom payment withheld until installation

The board approved a resolution authorizing payments for allowed claims and payroll after discussing one item of concern: a $114,310.51 invoice to Raycom for equipment that, according to staff, has been delivered but not yet fully installed and documented. The auditor's staff was asked to withhold that payment batch until installation is verified.

Finance staff reported that with that payment withheld, today's payable total was $587,587; payroll for the period totaled $1,694,321.17. The board voted to approve the remaining claims and to hold the Raycom payment until upon confirmation of installation and satisfactory documentation.

Separately, the board approved a contract amendment with Juvenile Court Services for $30,000 for FY27 and accepted final closeout documents and release of retainage for the Pine Crest renovation project (final contract $265,843.41; retainage released $13,292.17). The board also approved the purchase of 325 UB key security tokens from SHI International for $8,840; IT staff said the keys are federal security requirements and the purchase was under budgeted estimates.
