He wanted to inform them that Edwards County R&B department is wanting to use our shoulder rock machine and after some discussion it was tabled until our insurance was contacted, and an agreement could be drawn up for the use of equipment.
Matt Christenson came to present 4 quotes for replacing 24 workstations and some monitors for the different county departments. Quotes received CDWG $33,406.01, Connection $29,565.73, SCW $32,017.14 and SHI $33.738.54.

Kristi Cooper presented 2 quotes from Komtech ($3207.21) and Postalocity ($2453.61) for mailing the RNR notices. She explained that the quote was an estimate at this time since she wouldn’t know for sure yet how many notices would need to be sent if the County exceeded the RNR. The total cost could be less and would be only sent if taxing districts exceeded the RNR for their 2023 budgets and that SB13 regulates the new law. After some discussion Bert moved to approve the quote from Postalocity in the amount of $2453.61 and John seconded, motion passed unanimously. Minutes from the last meeting were presented for signatures.
Meeting adjourned at 10:09.
