Committee approves sheriff's Citrix license renewal, sheriff apologizes for procurement misstep

Aug 28, 2026

The committee approved payment for an out-of-contract Citrix license renewal for the Sheriff's Office (approximately $35,000); the sheriff addressed the committee, accepted responsibility for the procurement handling, and said the office will seek bids next year.

The Sheriff's Office asked the committee to approve a nearly $35,000 Citrix license renewal that fell outside cooperative purchasing channels. Staff explained the cooperative purchase did not materialize and the sheriff's office instead procured service from a vendor (C Spire) not on a state contract; because the purchase was essential to operations, the committee proceeded to consider approval.
