The court also approved a contract cancellation with a credit card processing vendor and authorized a new agreement with a vendor offering improved services and fees. Budget amendments were passed to cover partial fringe benefits for a grant-funded position, jail door system repairs totaling $119,156, and $33,389 for repairs to the R&D1 department office building.
