Summary

Treasurer Julie Ellison requested that Kathy Stinnett be hired as an hourly minute-taker for the budget committee; Judge Hamsher moved to approve the hire, noting the cost did not meet the threshold for public solicitation, and the motion passed unanimously.

Treasurer Julie Ellison asked the court to hire Kathy Stinnett to take minutes for the budget committee at an hourly rate; Stinnett had taken minutes the prior year and had donated her time. Judge Hamsher noted the total cost would not reach the dollar threshold that requires public advertisement or solicitation, and he moved to approve the hire. The motion was seconded and passed (Ayes: 3 / Nays: 0 / Abstains: 0).

The court recorded no separate procurement process for the hire due to the cost threshold. The transcript does not list the hourly rate or the total estimated cost; those details were not specified at the March 4 meeting.
