Cass County commission approves purchase of voting pens for April election
Summary
On Jan. 22 the Cass County Commission approved Resolution 25-06 authorizing the county clerk's office to purchase voting pens that can be delivered before the April election; commissioners cited vendor timing as the reason for the procurement.
The Cass County Commission voted Jan. 22 to approve Resolution 25-06, authorizing the county clerk's office to purchase voting pens that can be delivered in time for the April election.
County officials said the choice of vendor was driven by timing: other bids did not arrive in time to guarantee delivery before the election. A county staff member told the commission, "Basically, this accepting on this bill come down to timing because all the other bids that came in did not get here in time for the April election." The commission approved the resolution by voice vote.
The approval came during the commission's Jan. 22 meeting after a motion and second; the clerk's office will proceed with the purchase so the supplies are available for the upcoming election. The transcript does not specify the vendor name, the purchase price, or delivery dates beyond the general statement that the chosen bidder could deliver before April.
Votes at the meeting were recorded as two in favor, zero against. At roll call, Bob Houston and Mike Moreland were present; Jeff Fletcher was absent. The motion and second were not identified by name in the transcript.
No additional procurement details, contract numbers or budget line items were specified on the record.
