Staff proposed a roughly $31,000 renewal for a consultant contract with Alternative Solutions to support community corrections and program work in 2026; the board moved and approved the renewal by voice vote.

Derek (first referenced in SEG 147) presented a proposal to renew a consultant contract with Alternative Solutions to continue work on community corrections and related programs. He said the county has used the consultant for several years and requested roughly $31,000 to cover anticipated increased work in 2026, including support for a planned new assistant superintendent and a future director of programs.

A motion to approve the renewal was moved and seconded and a voice vote followed; the transcript indicates the motion carried. Derek described the work as important for continuity through leadership transitions but did not provide a contract number or a detailed scope of services in the recorded exchange.

The transcript does not contain the consultant’s written proposal or signed contract; staff and the board indicated they expect continued use of the consultant subject to budgeting and staffing changes in 2026.
