# 7-07-2026 Cole County Commission Meeting

At the Cole County Commission meeting on July 7, 2026, commissioners discussed several procurement and infrastructure items. They approved a professional-services contract with TUSA Consulting for a strategic assessment of county 911 communications and infrastructure, to be funded from the 911 prepaid-cell-phone tax fund, which had an estimated balance of about $71,000; the contract’s price was not stated. The commission also acted on signing the Public Works shop expansion contract, which had been awarded the previous week. A stormwater project in the Nachez watershed was out for bid, with completion hoped for this year; longer-term Binder Lake watershed projects are being developed with the state DNR, schools, parks, and other partners. Future projects may pursue funding with a 60% external/40% local match, but no project cost was yet available.

Other spending actions included approval of year-two preventive maintenance for county ventilators under a five-year Hamilton Medical contract, at $13,156, and approval of an on-site infusion-pump maintenance agreement with Renew Biome for $3,520. Commissioners approved required clinic accessibility equipment totaling $11,423.54, to be paid from county funds, and separately approved a $3,550 scale purchase using WIC funds. The annual agreement allowing the county to access the state vital-records system was also presented for approval. The meeting additionally included an update on storm response and ongoing ADA document remediation; no other procurement decisions were identified.
