Commissioners preliminarily approve employee handbook pages, greenlight AMS internet fix and accept assessor's cyclical reassessment bid
Summary
The commission gave preliminary approval to the first 10 pages of the employee handbook, authorized seeking safety-tax funds to hardwire the AMS/EMS building internet, and approved a four-year cyclical reassessment contract with Tyler Technologies for $112,800.
Commissioners handled several operational items in a single block of administrative business, taking preliminary action on personnel policies, authorizing additional IT funding for the EMS/AMS building, and approving a cyclical reassessment contract for the assessor’s office.
Speaker 1 presented the first 10 pages of a revised employee handbook and said department heads had been consulted; after discussion Speaker 4 moved for preliminary approval and commissioners voted to preliminarily accept the first 10 pages with final approval to follow at a later meeting.
On technology, Speaker 4 said the new AMS (EMS) building has intermittent internet and that an initial bid mistakenly ran wiring to the North Annex; he asked permission to request additional funds from the county safety tax to hardwire the EMS building. Speaker 2 moved and Speaker 3 seconded; commissioners voted to authorize pursuing the additional funding.
On property reassessment, a Tyler Technologies representative described a four-year contract for cyclical reassessment totaling $112,800 (about $33,000 per year), noting the figure was roughly 30% higher than the previous cycle; Speaker 1 confirmed the cost is already budgeted and Speaker 4 moved to approve the assessor’s request to accept the bid. The motion passed by voice vote.
No additional votes were recorded on these items beyond the actions described; staff were instructed to continue outreach with department heads and to post policies online for review.
