At its March 25 meeting the committee approved procurement card authorizations, a travel policy ordinance, multiple intergovernmental juvenile‑detention agreements at $225/day, a two‑year health‑broker contract, a $200,000 Aurora lead‑line agreement and a software implementation contract.
The King County Finance & Budget Committee approved a package of resolutions and one ordinance on March 25, covering procurement cards, intergovernmental juvenile‑detention contracts, vendor and vendor‑service agreements, and a travel‑policy change.
Key actions approved by roll call or unanimous consent included:
• Resolution 26‑419 — Approve February 2026 claims paid in the amount of $9,569,815.29 (moved by Sanchez; seconded by Lewis).
• Resolution 26‑284 — Authorize procurement cards for the county board (per‑purchase limit $1,000; card maximum $10,000).
• Ordinance 26‑056 — Revise financial policy language for travel expense compliance so the King County auditor administers compliance and the board approves exceptions.
• A series of intergovernmental agreements (Resolutions 26‑306, 26‑308, 26‑309, 26‑310, 26‑311, 26‑312) contracting juvenile detention services with multiple counties at $225 per day for three‑year terms; motions were moved by Sanchez and seconded as noted in the roll calls.
• Resolution 26‑370 — Authorize a two‑year contract with Connor and Gallagher / Soarscribe Incorporated for health insurance broker and consulting services ($125,000 year one; $130,000 year two).
• Resolution 26‑391 — Authorize intergovernmental agreement with the City of Aurora for lead service line replacement on Salphusburg Avenue ($200,000 budgeted, primarily covered by Aurora with some township homes involved).
• Resolution 26‑420 — Authorize a $10,000 agreement with Eisner Advisory Group LLC for software implementation services to the finance department (vendor entity updated from prior year).
Committee members discussed cost details for the broker contract and the mechanics of procurement cards and rebate policies but approved the items during the meeting. Several resolutions noting procurement‑card limits and vendor agreements were routine and passed without extended debate. The committee placed monthly reports on file and adjourned.
