Board debates unpaid CIC invoice and third‑party payroll interface testing; consensus to pay from contingency

Board members reviewed a multi‑page invoice tied to a third‑party payroll interface and other services billed through CIC. Speaker 3 said the system work was completed but not tested and that the second half of the agreed payment was conditioned on successful uploads; other members said the vendor might terminate service if the county did not pay. "I say we just pay whatever we need to have a contingency, the money's there, and move on," the Chair (speaker 2) said, arguing it was better to preserve vendor relationships and avoid operational disruption.
