Summary

Commissioner Robert Baldwin proposed that Commissioners David Persons and David Comai represent the board at a County Road meeting with initial engineers Hobs and Black instead of the County Road hiring a new vendor at an estimated cost of $40,000; the assignment was noted for follow‑up.

During other business at the Jan. 2 organizational meeting, Commissioner Robert Baldwin recommended that Commissioners David Persons and David Comai attend the County Road meeting with initial engineers Hobs and Black to explore alternatives rather than the County Road contracting a new vendor at a projected cost of $40,000.

The minutes state Baldwin’s preference that Persons and Comai represent the Board of Commissioners and take questions to Hobs and Black about other options to meet the needs initiated by the KCRC. No formal motion or vote is recorded in the minutes to authorize spending or to hire a vendor; the record shows the assignment of Persons and Comai to attend the meeting as the board’s representatives.

The item was recorded under 'Other Business' and will be followed up in subsequent meetings or in the Jan. 21 regular meeting if further action is required.
