Summary
At the Dec. 5 meeting the board approved Nov. 28 minutes, voted to approve listed claims and accepted the consent agenda; the committee reported awarding a vending bid to Pepsi Cola and a resident asked for clarification on bid scoring and training.
The Board of County Commissioners approved routine business at its Dec. 5 meeting, recording voice votes to approve minutes and to carry claims and the consent agenda.
Commissioner Morris moved to approve the minutes from Nov. 28, 2023; the motion was seconded and recorded as approved with two 'aye' responses. Commissioner Morris later moved to approve claims (spoken as "24Dash075076077078"); that motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. He also moved to approve the consent agenda to place file items on record; that motion received a second and passed.
Chairman noted that representatives from Coke and Pepsi were present; the board said the committee had awarded the vending bid to Pepsi Cola and thanked both vendors for their bids. No formal floor motion or roll-call vote about the vending contract appears in the meeting transcript.
During public comment, Tim Lenny of 43 Pipestone Drive, Billings, Montana asked for clarification about the scoring columns used to evaluate bids and particularly what was counted under training. Chairman directed Lenny to speak with James Smith, a committee member present, and said staff would help get his questions answered.
The meeting concluded with adjournment later that morning.
