The Wayne County Commission approved three items under immediate consideration: an amendment to a cooperative contract with Carahsoft Technologies for additional Smartsheet licenses ($103,260.95), an amendment to a purchase order for Range 313 in Lincoln Park to provide gun-range access ($54,600), and a retroactive amendment to a revenue-generating towing contract with J & T Towing (estimated $150,000) with a one-year renewal option.
Jeanette Colsar, chief of staff for the Department of Management and Budget, described Smartsheet as a project-management and collaboration tool used for dashboards, policy drafting and tracking responses to commission questions. Vanita Terry, chief administration for the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, said the Range 313 amendment supports certification sessions for deputies. County staff explained the J & T Towing contract will support towing, storage and auction services for sheriff's office needs, including narcotics-unit tows and abandoned vehicles; the contract is revenue-generating.
The three items were taken together on a single motion and approved; Commissioner Peterson Mayberry recorded an abstention on item 3 (J & T Towing).
