Agenda items
Rural Fire District No. 5 seeks commission approval to apply for two of its vehicles - a 2005 GMC 2500 and a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado - to be designated as Authorized Emergency Vehicles. According to information in the commission meeting packet, the Saline County Sheriff's Office, Salina Police Department, and Salina Fire Department have approved the designation for the vehicles.
Commissioners also are scheduled to consider a proposal to renew an agreement with the firm of Lindburg Vogel Pierce Faris, Chartered, of Hutchinson, to conduct the next three county audits. The firm has conducted Saline County audits since the fiscal year that ended Dec. 31, 2009. Earlier this year, the county issued a request for proposals for audit services and eight firms responded.
According to information in the commission meeting packet, a committee comprised of the county administrator, county clerk, and county treasurer evaluated the submitted proposals and selected the two that were the best potential fit for Saline County. Reference calls for the two were made and the committee then evaluated those responses. Based on those evaluations, the committee is recommending that the county stay with Lindburg Vogel Pierce Faris, Chartered.
