Pulled from the Consent Agenda:
CONVEYANCE OF PROPERTY 11-18-15
Flory, after receiving no public comment, moved to approve the authorization to convey and warrant Lot 8, Block 3 in East Hills Business Park, Lawrence, Kansas to Economic Development Corporation of Lawrence and Douglas County (the lost between Prosoco and Kinedyne). Motion was seconded by Gaughan and carried 3-0.
SHERIFF 11-18-15
The Board considered a request to waive the formal bid process for a new inmate medical services contract. Ken McGovern, Douglas County Sheriff, presented the item.
McGovern is seeking approval to solicit information from Advanced Correctional Healthcare and Correct Care Solutions, two inmate medical service provider companies. The current medical provider has struggled to employ staff willing to work in a correctional setting. Both organizations being considered are national companies that operate based upon nationally recognized correctional health care standards and policies and are utilized by local Kansas counties. According to McGovern, the individual contract with one of these companies may cost more than the current medical contract, however; he believes the savings will occur when the overall medical costs are evaluated.
It was the consensus of the Board to look at this option as an alternative and if the result is too costly the County can stay with the current procedure. Gaughan stated he would be interested in learning the breakeven point on deciding whether it would be in the best interest of the County to hire an in-house physician.
Flory opened the item for public comment. No comment was received.
Flory moved to waive the formal bidding process to seek proposals from medical staff providers to establish a formal contract. Motion was seconded by Gaughan and carried 3-0.
WALK-ON ITEM 11-18-15
Flory moved to grant a waterline easement and a sanitary sewer easement to the City of Lawrence to accommodate line changes to proceed with the Douglas County Fairgrounds project. Motion was seconded by Thellman and carried 3-0.
