Finance committee directs administrator to negotiate DCS invoice payments from contingency
Summary
The Finance Committee reported that a contract with DCS expired in December 2025 but DCS provided services into early 2026 and invoiced for those months; Interim Administrator Mike Sepic was authorized to negotiate March costs and to present a requisition to pay January–February from the contingency fund.
Members of the Finance Committee told the Board that the county’s contract with DCS (which provided BCBIT services) expired in December 2025 but DCS was engaged for services in January and February 2026 and invoiced for those months despite no 2026 budget allocation. Interim Administrator Mike Sepic reported there is "a mutual agreement to pause the contract forward," but the vendor already invoiced for March; the Board gave consensus to allow Sepic to negotiate March costs and to bring a requisition for January and February expenses to the next Board meeting for payment out of the Contingency Fund.
The minutes show the Finance Committee reviewed waivers and bids and raised this contractual/financial matter as a funding issue. No dollar amounts were recorded in the excerpt; the transcript records that payment for January and February was judged due and that contingency funds would be used because the expenses were not budgeted in 2026. The Board directed the administrator to negotiate and present the requisition at the next meeting.
