# Marion County Commissioners Meeting - July 29, 2026

The Marion County Board of Commissioners meeting on July 29, 2026, included two procurement-related consent actions. Commissioners approved a $75,000 amendment to the purchase order with Robert Half International Inc. for temporary staffing, bringing the total to $175,000 for services retroactive to July 1 through September 11, 2026. They also approved a $1,139,150 increase to the guaranteed maximum price amendment for the construction manager/general contractor contract with Slayden Contract Constructors Inc., adding federal American Rescue Plan Act funding and bringing the contract total to $38,677,753. A commissioner recused himself from the Slayden action because his son works for the company; the motion passed. The board also approved a temporary 35-mph speed zone on Gates Hill Road during the North Fork Road landslide repair project and related road closure.

Other topics included a public comment from local builders about delays and communication issues with county building-plan reviews, and a presentation celebrating Marion County Health and Human Services’ public health reaccreditation in May 2026. No procurement action was identified in those discussions.
