Boone County council pressed over assessor—s RFP, vendor bids and staffing plan

Dec 9, 2025

A prolonged Dec. 9 discussion centered on Boone County Assessor Jennifer Ashley—s plan to reject current bids, seek a one-year contract extension, or request funding to hire nine full-time and two part-time staff. Council members debated two competing vendor proposals and whether the county should fund salaries or continue the contract.

The full story

Jennifer Ashley, Boone County assessor, told the county council that she will reject the current vendor bids because the RFP specifications are inadequate and that she will either ask commissioners to extend the current vendor contract for one year or seek council funding to hire staff in-house. "At the next commissioner's meeting, I will be rejecting all bids due to the RFP specifications being inadequate," Ashley said.
