Summary

Commissioners were told the utilities division will pursue a contract model for on-call electrical services after failing to fill an internal position; staff said Adam and the utilities team will pursue that approach and commissioners signaled support.

At the work session the chair summarized item B as a contract form for "on call electrical services for utilities division," saying the administration had tried multiple times to fill the position internally and had limited success.

"As you guys know, we tried multiple times to staff that position. Didn't have a ton of luck," the chair said, and staff indicated that Adam and the utilities team will use the contract to maintain services. Commissioners responded with brief agreement to "try it." The work session did not include a formal vote; the contract approach will be placed on the business meeting agenda for formal action if staff proceed.
