Commission approves award of indigent defense RFQ to Colton McKay and directs attorney to draft contract
Summary
Commission accepted the selection committee's recommendation and voted to award the county's indigent defense RFQ to Colton McKay, directing the county attorney to prepare a contract consistent with the RFQ terms.
The Morgan County Commission voted on Jan. 6 to award the county's recent RFQ for indigent defense services to Colton McKay and asked the county attorney to draft an agreement consistent with the RFQ terms for return at a future meeting.
County Attorney explained he helped draft the RFQ and recused himself from the selection process. The selection committee forwarded a recommendation for Colton McKay; the commission voted to approve the award and directed the county attorney to draft a contract aligned with RFQ specifications to bring back for final approval.
The vote to award the RFQ was recorded as a motion by Commissioner Newton with a recorded second and the motion carried. The county attorney noted he would not introduce contract terms that depart from the RFQ as issued and would bring the proposed agreement to the commission at the next meeting.
