Interim administrator outlines RFP pipeline, new hire and opioid-settlement planning
Summary
Interim administrator Lauren Seifer told the board the county has RFPs closing soon (ERP, benefits broker, jail lighting), welcomed new executive assistant Jenny Herman, and said staff are researching a resolution and expert committee approach to spending opioid settlement dollars, aiming for a September proposal.
Interim administrator Lauren Seifer provided a concise operations update and set short timelines for key procurement and policy work.
She announced Jenny Herman as the county—xecutive assistant, noted enterprise resource-planning, benefits-broker, and jail lighting-control RFPs will close in coming weeks, and said staff are preparing budget estimates for 2026-28. On opioid settlement funds she said, "There is a very clear path, including a resolution and the establishment of a committee with experts to provide input into this document" and asked for more time so a thorough resolution can be prepared for September.
Seifer also reported the civil-infraction ordinance draft and an ethics-and-complaint policy are under review with legal and stakeholders to ensure careful implementation. The finance team expects the preliminary budget will be ready for printing in about 10 days, she said.
Next steps: administration will return the opioid resolution and any necessary committee charters to the board for consideration in September.
