Summary

Officials said a service agreement amendment effective April 1, 2026, will reduce county commission revenue from about $177,000 last year to a projected $120,000 this year; commissioners placed the amendment on the agenda and said options are limited.

County staff told the commission an amendment to a technologies master service agreement, effective April 1, 2026, will change the vendor’s rate structure and reduce expected commission revenue. "We generated $177,000 on commissions last year and we're projected this year under the new rate to probably be at 120," a staff speaker said, describing a projected 25%–35% reduction.

Staff characterized the amendment as largely out of the county’s hands because of state involvement and regulatory changes, saying the county has limited options to avoid the new rate. Commissioners agreed to place the amendment on the next agenda for formal consideration and asked staff to include supporting documentation and a recommended path forward.

No formal action to accept or reject the amendment occurred at the meeting; staff said the item is an amendment that must be acknowledged and scheduled for a future vote if the commission wishes to act.
