Committee Meeting | HHS - July 21, 2026

The Wayne County Commission held a committee meeting on July 21, 2026, focusing primarily on public health and environmental health program operations. A key procurement discussion involved the approval of a 36-month software acquisition contract with HS.gov TechUSA for $272,600, with options to renew for two additional years. This contract is for the HS Cloud Suite, a secure cloud-based software as a service platform designed to modernize and improve efficiency in environmental health management, including food safety inspections, septic system tracking, permitting, licensing, and complaint management. The software aims to replace manual and outdated processes, enhance customer service through a public portal, and integrate GIS mapping for better data analytics. The commission approved the contract unanimously. Additionally, the meeting included a report on the medical examiner's turnaround times and the introduction of a new deputy director for the Health, Human, and Veteran Services department, who will focus on operational and financial improvements within the department. Discussions also touched on environmental health data transparency and plans to improve public access to air quality information via the county website.
