At their April 15 meeting the Monroe County Board approved multiple contracts and budget adjustments — including a $530,775 parking‑garage base bid, jury‑management and court‑technology contracts, and continuation of a $138,202 victim services grant — and authorized several smaller grants and vendor agreements.
Monroe County commissioners on April 15 approved a slate of contracts, budget adjustments and grant awards covering courthouse maintenance, court technology, victim services and county vendor lists.
The board approved award recommendations for the county parking‑garage maintenance work, noting a Seal Crete Coating LLC base bid of $530,775 with alternates totaling $28,080. Commissioners also approved a COOP COG plan award of $55,913.04 to Coletta Holdings LLC.
The board accepted a number of technology and service agreements for court operations: a three‑year jury‑management contract with Tyler Technologies (year‑1 $43,060; year‑2 $50,463; year‑3 $52,986; plus a one‑time implementation cost of $57,310) and a $144,821.32 contract with Thomson Reuters Court Management Solutions to extract data to support a migration to paperless case management, contingent on solicitor approval.
Fiscal and records agreements included a $5,000 contract with Aleva Technologies to assist with GRAMA research and discovery and authorization to submit a year‑two continuation of a victim services (VOCA‑type) grant for $138,202 for the 10/01/2026–09/30/2027 period. Commissioners also approved several hotel‑tax allocations and opioid settlement uses consistent with settlement Exhibit E, including a $15,000 housing assistance award to Path to Peace.
Procurement actions included authorization to advertise surplus vehicle sales via govdeals.com and the addition of multiple vendors to the county’s approved list (evaluators for the State Fire Academy and other equipment suppliers were named).
A county official who answered questions about the GRAMA/vendor contract described the Aleva/Viel (Veil) tool as a grant‑finding and grant‑writing platform to be trialed for one year. "It's a grant writing platform," said a commissioner (speaker 7), describing its ability to find and help prepare grant applications.
All items on the consent and new‑business portions of the agenda were approved by voice votes; the record reflects motions, seconds and the repeated formula "All in favor, signify by saying aye," followed by "Motion carries." No roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
The board also approved smaller capital purchases and ratified budget adjustments announced at the meeting. The meeting concluded after community updates and public comment.
