Meeting participants approved a contract request for a LexisNexis subscription for the Freestone County Library and agreed to submit the vendor request form, but the exact funding amount was not specified in the transcript.

The approval was moved by Speaker 3, Meeting participant (role not specified), and the motion was recorded as carried with the meeting noting “all there, aye. Motion carried.” Speaker 2, Meeting participant (role not specified), introduced the item, saying: “Consider approving the Lexus Nexus contract, Freestone County Library. We do have that service.” Speaker 4, Meeting participant (role not specified), said staff had already filled out the request form and explained the sequence: “I have filled out the request form. Okay. So we just have to have it approved for request to send in today, and then, they will send us an amount.”

Nut graf: The county treats this as an annual subscription approval process: staff submits a request, the vendor issues a dollar amount, and the county later allocates received funds. The transcript shows the administrative steps but does not include the subscription cost or the specific account that will pay for the service.

In discussion, speakers stressed this is a routine annual item. Speaker 2 stated, “we do this every year usually.” Staff described that after the request is submitted the vendor will provide an amount and the county will choose where to allocate the funds. The transcript does not record a dollar figure; speakers said the amount will be sent by the vendor at a later date.

Ending: The transcript records the motion, the agreement to submit the request, and that the vendor will supply the dollar amount later. The precise subscription cost and the county’s subsequent allocation decision were not specified in the provided transcript.
