Hamilton County adopts two ordinances on first reading covering insurance and procurement policy
Summary
The board approved on first reading an ordinance adopting vendor insurance requirements and on first reading a new procurement policy to replace existing purchasing rules. Staff and the procurement director answered brief procedural questions before the votes.
Rebecca Scott, presenting for Governance, Risk and Compliance, asked the board to approve Ordinance 12‑08‑2025‑A to adopt an insurance requirements policy for vendors, contractors and events and asked that the policy be incorporated into the county's GRC manual. "Today, I am requesting your approval of ordinance 12‑08‑2025‑A, adopting the insurance requirements policy for vendors, contractors, and events," Scott said. Commissioners moved to approve the ordinance on first reading and the motion carried by voice vote.
Commissioner Turner then introduced Ordinance 12‑08‑2025‑B to enact Hamilton County's procurement policy and abandon prior county purchasing policies. Procurement director Anna Schuler was present for questions; commissioners voted to approve the ordinance on first reading.
Both items were treated as first readings at this meeting and therefore remain subject to any additional procedural steps the county's ordinances require before final adoption.
