Forsyth County to pay five old animal‑shelter invoices and pursue contract for laundry repairs
Summary
Deputy County Manager Kyle Haney asked commissioners to approve quantum meruit payments to Consolidated Laundry Equipment LLC for five unpaid laundry‑repair invoices from prior leadership at the animal shelter (dated July 2024–June 2025) and said a formal contract will be established to prevent recurrence.
Deputy County Manager Kyle Haney, standing in for Animal Shelter Director Jay Burman, asked commissioners for authority to pay five unpaid invoices to Consolidated Laundry Equipment LLC on a quantum meruit basis for commercial laundry repairs provided without a contract under prior leadership. Haney said the invoices date from the prior fiscal year, with the earliest listed as July 16, 2024 and the latest in June 2025. He said the shelter had historically used purchase orders for individual services and that the new director is establishing a contract to prevent a repeat.
A commissioner questioned whether budget and finance procedures should have blocked payment without a contract. Haney acknowledged the prior practice and explained the department discovered the unpaid invoices after the fact and is seeking to correct them while putting a contract in place going forward. No formal vote was recorded during the briefing; the item appears on the March 19 agenda.
