Summary

Shawnee County commissioners on Jan. 5 approved two voucher reports, renewed county IT licensing, authorized the disposal of 22 unserviceable roll‑off containers, and voted to join a nonprofit purchasing cooperative.
In roll call and votes during a brief session, the board approved a voucher report for $1,747,169.16 that the clerk said included a $135,493.30 payment to OpenGov Inc. for software and a payment to O'Neal Excavating, Inc. tied to the Shawnee North Sports Complex sewer replacement. Commissioners then approved a second voucher to close out the fiscal year. Both motions passed 3–0.
"If there are no questions or concerns, I would move for approval," Commissioner Aaron Mays said before the votes were taken. The motions were seconded and passed unanimously.
The board also approved two information‑technology renewals. Mark Price of the county’s IT office told commissioners that the Nanix clusters will not reach end‑of‑life until 2027, so the county will renew software licensing rather than replace hardware. The board approved contract C260001 with Choice Solutions for Nanix software licenses and hardware support at the price recorded in the contract documentation.
On a separate motion, commissioners approved contract C20260002 with Logicalis for a one‑year renewal of Duo multi‑factor authentication licenses at the stated cost of $33,228. "This is the renewal of our Duo licensing. This is the software used for multi‑factor authentication for logging onto the computers," Price said.
In solid waste business, a county solid waste representative requested permission to scrap 22 roll‑off containers that the representative said are unserviceable and too expensive to repair. Finance staff had been consulted, the representative said, and commissioners approved the disposal 3–0.
Jennifer Sauer, the county’s financial administrator, asked the board to join the Gov MVMT Cooperative, a nonprofit purchasing cooperative. "We are just seeking your approval to join a cooperative to be used for purchasing at no cost to the county," she said, noting that the cooperative does not replace the county’s use of RFPs and that the cooperative imposes no minimum purchase requirement. The board approved joining the cooperative by unanimous vote.
No members of the public had signed up to speak, the clerk said, and commissioners determined there was no need for an executive session at this meeting.
