Vernon County to lease new facility for election equipment, commission authorizes three-year lease
Summary
County Clerk Adrienne Lee told commissioners current storage costs are unsustainable; the commission directed staff to lease a new facility and sign a three-year lease to store election equipment.
Vernon County Clerk Adrienne Lee told the Vernon County Commission on May 20 that current building costs for storing election equipment are rising and that a new facility is necessary. The commission instructed Lee to notify interested parties that the county will lease a new facility and that the commission will sign a three-year lease.
The decision was presented as a staff recommendation during the meeting rather than a formal bidding or contract award on the record. Lee outlined the storage cost concerns and the commission gave direction to proceed with leasing; no dollar amounts or vendor names were recorded in the minutes. "It was decided that a new facility is necessary," the minutes state. The commission did not record a separate vote on the lease in the minutes for this session; follow-up steps such as lease execution and vendor selection were assigned to staff.
