Charlie Franklin, chair of the Jackson County Budget Committee, said the committee would consider purchase order 21960, awarding a 12-month term and supply contract with three 12-month options to extend for the furnishing of softball umpire services to Eastern Jackson County USSSA Empire Association of Independence, Missouri, as a sole-source purchase.

The committee unanimously recommended adoption of the contract. The motion to adopt was made and approved by voice vote; no individual mover or vote tally was recorded in the transcript.

Donna Peyton and Vanessa Husky were listed as present during the discussion; Franklin noted the item had been presented the prior week and that outstanding issues had been resolved. The transcript did not specify any other procurement details, such as competitive alternatives or the basis for sole-source designation.

The recommendation will move forward as the budget committee's advisory action; the transcript does not record a final county-executive signature or implementation date.
