Request for discussion and possible action on County policy for management of performance and payment bonds.

Performance and payment bonds protect the public when the county hires contractors for big projects. They help make sure work gets done and that workers and suppliers get paid. A county policy on how these bonds are managed can affect how taxpayer money is protected on construction and service contracts.

This is a discussion item — meaning commissioners will review, possibly debate, and may vote on the county's policy for managing performance and payment bonds. The item was introduced on June 1, 2026, and carries file number 26-3782.
