Financial Managment Committee (Cam2) 8/27/26

The Sumner County Financial Management Committee met on August 27, 2026, to discuss various financial and procurement matters. Key procurement-related topics included challenges with a contract for training services with JKSA, which has been unresponsive, leading to considerations of contract termination. The committee also discussed the need to purchase additional Kronos software licenses, with a quote pending. Additionally, purchase order exceptions were reviewed, notably for Ingram Library's new card fees and a $35,000 sheriff's department contract with Ceasefire that bypassed bidding and cooperative purchasing guidelines. The committee approved motions to address these issues and planned to bid out the sheriff's contract next year. They also emphasized improving departmental compliance with timely submission of payroll and leave reconciliations to meet audit deadlines, proposing that departments failing to comply by July 20 must report to the committee. No new policy changes were enacted, but the discussions highlighted procurement oversight and contract management challenges.
