Commissioners approve three-year renewal for RightStuf payroll service to avoid near-term rate increases

County staff and commissioners discussed renewal options for the RightStuf payroll contract and chose a three-year term to avoid an inflationary rate increase tied to one-year renewals. "It looks like for me ... 3 year, it's automatic, and it just renews," one participant said while describing the difference between the one- and three-year options. Staff told the board the vendor had increased user counts and that the overall cost increase was relatively modest. "Like, $200," a staff member said when asked how much the contract cost rose. Commissioners motioned, seconded and approved the three-year renewal. Staff noted all contracts are subject to appropriation and that the county retains the right to discontinue service if the council does not appropriate funds. No individual commissioner names were recorded on the motion in the meeting transcript; the board approved the renewal by voice vote.
