Summary

The board approved signing a contract with Boise consultant Tess Molitor of Molitor & Associates to provide government relations and media/public outreach services, with a monthly fee model and potential mileage reimbursement.

Tess Molitor, a Boise-based government relations consultant, presented a proposal to provide public-information and lobbying support for Jerome County, saying she typically works on a monthly-fee basis rather than an hourly rate and may include mileage reimbursement for in-person work.
