Camden County commission accepts single-source election services bid, approves small budget amendments
Summary
On March 3, 2026, the Camden County Commission voted to accept a sole-source bid for election registry services and approved three small budget amendments tied to the EMA truck sale and department donations. Commissioners also scheduled Treasurer paperwork and an audit report to be added to the record.
Presiding Commissioner Ike Skelton and the Camden County Commission met March 3, 2026, and approved a set of routine actions including acceptance of a single bid for election registry maintenance and three small budget amendments.
County Clerk Rowland Todd presented a single bid from EJ Rice Company to provide CVRM (Canvassing & Voter Registry Maintenance) election services, listing a cost of $18,178.41. "The bid is listed at $18,178.41 which is approximately $3,000 less than last time they bid," County Clerk Rowland Todd said, and asked the commission to accept the proposal. Commissioner James Gohagan moved to accept the bid; Commissioner Steve Dougan seconded and the motion passed with votes recorded as Gohagan (aye) and Dougan (aye).
The commission then approved two small budget amendments. Commissioner Gohagan moved to approve a $24,250 budget amendment to reflect proceeds from the sale of an EMA truck so the revenue and corresponding spending line could be used; Commissioner Dougan seconded and the motion passed. Commissioner Dougan later moved to approve a $86.96 amendment for the Public Safety Law Enforcement fund to account for a pizza-fundraiser donation; Commissioner Gohagan seconded, and the motion passed.
Nut graf: The actions taken on March 3 were procedural and routine in nature — accepting a single bid for election services and adjusting line items to reflect small, discrete revenues. The vote records provided in the meeting minutes show unanimous recorded support among the participating commissioners for these items as recorded.
The meeting record shows motions and votes as entered in the official minutes: the agenda amendment (removing an EMA COOP presentation) was moved by Presiding Commissioner Ike Skelton and recorded as passing with Commissioners Dougan and Gohagan recorded as voting aye; prior minutes were approved after a motion by Commissioner Dougan and second by Commissioner Gohagan. The commission moved to adjourn at 10:34 a.m.
The treasurer's financial worksheets and a BS&A audit report requested by Commissioner Gohagan were noted as part of the record and will be available following adjournment. No ordinance, long-term contract award beyond the single election-services bid, or multi-item omnibus motion was adopted during this session.
The commission adjourned; the Treasurer's worksheets and the BS&A audit report were indicated to be entered into the official record for review.
