The Town of Alta council took several administrative actions on Sept. 10: it adopted a resolution canceling the 2025 municipal election because races were uncontested, issued a proclamation honoring long‑time local ski instructor Junior Maynoos on his 100th birthday, and approved a recommendation to switch the town’s IT managed‑service provider.

Councilmembers voted by roll call to cancel the election after two candidates withdrew their candidacies, leaving seats uncontested. The council noted canceling the election avoids an estimated $4,000 election cost; candidates remain required by state statute to file the appropriate financial disclosures and will be sworn in when terms begin in January.

The council then adopted a proclamation recognizing Aug. 24, 2025, as Junior Maynoos Day, commemorating his contributions to ski instruction and local ski culture and marking his 100th birthday.

Separately, staff reported on the results of an RFP for IT managed services following dissatisfaction with the outgoing provider’s evolving service model and difficulty meeting the town’s security and municipal needs. The review committee (staff and outside reviewers) scored respondents against a rubric and recommended a locally based vendor with municipal experience. The council approved the staff recommendation and authorized the transition; staff said the contract level is near a $21,000 threshold and transition work will begin.

Ending: The actions clear administrative housekeeping: the canceled election saves the town money in an uncontested race, the proclamation honors a local figure, and the IT vendor change begins a contract transition to a small vendor the town expects will better meet municipal security and support needs. Staff will handle the technical transition and ensure candidate disclosure and swearing‑in requirements are met.
