Commissioners approve annual vendor agreements, temporary tax-assessor contract and several administrative financial items
Summary
The board approved renewal of a Government Systems software agreement, a three-year GMAS contract to cover tax-assessor duties temporarily, a tax commissioner contract and authorized new accounts and a TENS note; commissioners also discussed procurement policies and posting thresholds.
Miller County commissioners approved several administrative agreements and short-term financial items at the January meeting.
The board voted to renew the annual software contract with Government Systems (GSI), covering both the primary software license and a related mobile-homes module. Commissioners also approved a three-year agreement that temporarily places GMAS (named in the packet) in an acting role for tax-assessor duties until a permanent assessor is appointed.
Commissioners approved the county's standard three-year tax-collection contract with the local tax commissioner (described at the meeting as the agreement allowing the tax commissioner to collect city taxes under existing practice). The board also authorized opening a separate checking account for the building department and approved opening a new TENS note for 2025.
Staff noted procurement policy updates: county staff said purchases above approximately $50,000 must be posted on the Georgia state procurement website, and the county will reduce the informal-quote requirement from three quotes to two when three are not reasonably available. Commissioners asked staff to circulate the personnel and procurement policies for review and to schedule the changes for formal consideration at the February meeting.
Motions on the recorded items passed by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were read into the record in the transcript provided.
