County interim contractor Stronghold to hold special meeting with city; commissioners schedule follow-up
Summary
The board discussed Stronghold’s interim contract, agreed to a special joint meeting with the city and scheduled Stronghold to be on-site Mondays and Fridays while bids are solicited; no contract award was taken at the July 7 meeting.
County commissioners heard an update on Stronghold, the interim contractor currently providing services for the county and the city, and agreed to a special meeting with city officials later in the week for preliminary results.
Commissioners said Stronghold will remain on site Mondays and Fridays while the county prepares to issue formal bids. Stronghold requested a meeting to present preliminary results; commissioners agreed to invite the city to a special meeting on Thursday, July 10, at 4:30 p.m., with the possibility of both open session and executive session portions for security- or personnel-sensitive matters.
The Stronghold invoice of $6,800 was included and approved on the consent agenda. Commissioners emphasized some of the follow-up work may require executive session and said they would coordinate with county counsel on any privileged items.
Why it matters: The interim contractor’s work affects county operations that currently rely on Stronghold coverage until a permanent contractor is selected. The scheduled joint meeting aims to brief both county and city officials on preliminary findings and next steps.
Next steps: County staff to send notice to the city and post a special-meeting agenda; Stronghold to present preliminary results at the special meeting; commissioners indicated they may move into executive session during that meeting as needed.
