Commissioner Gordon asked if it was feasible to contract with the same firm. Laura Blackmon said that she is not sure yet. There is a list of generalist firms and specific firms.

Commissioner Nelson said that he has an interest in getting items in a timely manner and the County Commissioners need time to review this information because the buck stops with the Board of County Commissioners.

He said that it is really important how people perceive the County as being transparent.
