Resources & Community Support Committee - October 19, 2026

The Hardin County Resources & Community Support Committee met on October 19, 2026. The main procurement item was a proposed Siteimprove software-as-a-service subscription to inventory, scan, and remediate county digital content for ADA Title II web accessibility requirements. The estimated cost was about $20,240, including a one-time $5,000 training fee; the annual renewal would increase by 5% (estimated at roughly $1,000 per year). The presenter said the quote was the lowest of three obtained—compared with quotes of about $32,000 and $43,000—and below the formal bid threshold. The vendor’s contract had been reviewed by the county attorney, and the service would provide accessibility tools rather than host county data. No purchase vote was taken; the committee planned to place the item before Fiscal Court on October 27, with billing to begin in January.

The committee also discussed preliminary YMCA planning, including future meetings with county and city officials after the election, possible site acreage needs, and the role of the Community Foundation; no funding or land-use decision was made. The health department announced a drive-through vaccination clinic and described a state-funded wastewater surveillance partnership with Elizabethtown Municipal Sewer. No other procurement awards or spending actions were identified.
