Somerset County authorizes emergency contractual hire for mosquito control
Summary
The board’s closed-session summary records action on mosquito control described as an 'Emergency Contractual Hire.' The record names Public Works Director Woody Barnes as present but lists no contract terms in the summary.
During its July 22 special session, the Somerset County Board of County Commissioners recorded an action on mosquito control in the closed-session summary. The summary lists the second topic as "Mosquito Control" and states the action taken was "Emergency Contractual Hire."
The transcript does not provide the contract value, vendor name, or operational details for the emergency hire; it records that Public Works Director Woody Barnes was present in the closed session alongside County Attorney Kirk Simpkins and executive staff. The summary gives the closed-session time as 2:30 p.m. to 3:02 p.m. and the statutory basis for the closed meeting as Annotated Code of Maryland § 3-305 (b)(7).
The record shows the board authorized the emergency contracting action in closed session; the summary does not state whether the board approved a specific contract or the procurement method and it does not list a vote tally for this item in the public summary.
