Reason for Recommendation
The Assessor's Office has previously contracted with LoopNet, Inc., to provide online subscription for recent sales of commercial property comparables. The subscription agreement renews automatically unless canceled by the County. The department is bringing this matter before the Board per BOS Policy C-17 Section 4.5, which states "Departments must obtain authorization from the Board of Supervisors, initially, and on an annual basis, to utilize any contract that does not have a stated term."
Follow Up Actions
The purchasing agent will issue purchase orders and the Assessor's Office will process payments.
