Commissioners approve assignment agreement needed for jail contract
Summary
The board approved an assignment agreement to finalize a jail services contract after changes in employment relationships required a formal assignment; vote recorded 3-0.
Morgan County commissioners approved an assignment agreement April 21 that county counsel said was needed because of a change in an employment relationship tied to an existing jail agreement.
County attorney Anne told the board the assignment was a final clerical and legal step so the county could not later claim it had not approved the assignment of contractual obligations. The agreement had been executed previously in August but attorneys continued negotiating signatures and liability language; the assignment presented at this meeting completed that process.
Commissioners moved and seconded approval; with no additional public comment the board voted 3-0 to accept the assignment agreement as presented.
Action: motion to accept the assignment agreement passed 3-0; staff will file the executed agreement with county records.
