SJC Board of Commissioners Meeting - Wednesday November 4, 2026 11am

At the November 4, 2026 meeting of the St. Joseph County Board of Commissioners, the board approved the accounts payable docket and several procurement and service items. Commissioners unanimously approved a services purchase agreement with Moser Consulting for a high-level assessment of county IT infrastructure, policies, and procedures, with interim IT director support available at an hourly rate; no contract amount was stated. They also approved Celerix Systems administrative and direct-bill services agreements to support retiree invoicing and COBRA administration as the county moves to an Anthem health plan in 2027, and a UnitedHealthcare contract enabling the Health Department to bill Medicaid for services. The department expects to bring forward credentialing contracts with three additional Medicaid entities.

The board approved a grant application for the Automotive Safety Program’s car-seat inspection station; the grant carries no stated monetary award but can provide up to 80 replacement car seats. Commissioners also approved a sales agreement with West Shore Services for an additional outdoor warning-siren system control point at the backup 911 center. West Shore was identified as the lowest bidder and a specialist in warning-siren systems; the remaining project spending was described as slightly more than $28,000, funded in part with money no longer needed for tree trimming. The agreement was approved unanimously. No procurement-related policy changes were identified.
