Kendall County authorizes up to $20,000 for temporary health‑inspection services
Summary
The court authorized contracting with BB Inspection Services (WLB Inspections DBA BB Inspection Services) or other temporary vendors to provide interim health inspection coverage, approving a not‑to‑exceed amount of $20,000 and directing a budget adjustment to move salary funds as needed.
Facing a vacant health‑inspector position, Kendall County Commissioners Court authorized county purchasing to contract for temporary health‑inspection services and approved a not‑to‑exceed amount of $20,000 on March 10.
County purchasing staff reported they received a quote from BB Inspection Services (doing business as WLB Inspections LLC) offering temporary health inspections at $200 per inspection and $150 per hour for complaint or special‑event work. Purchasing staff also said the county could consider temporary staffing through an existing temporary‑staff vendor.
General counsel recommended including a not‑to‑exceed cap in the contract. The judge moved to authorize a contract and a $20,000 cap to allow temporary inspection coverage while the county recruits a permanent employee; the court approved the motion and staff said a budget reallocation (moving salary savings) would be brought forward to complete the arrangement.
What to watch: staff will negotiate the final contract within the cap and present the budget transfer at the next court action; the court indicated it expects to convert to a permanent hire when feasible.
