Key changes include amending the Cone of Silence to permit closed recorded oral presentations, establishing requirements for competitive selection committees (size, composition, training, conflict checks), creating a 'Large Local Employer' category for professional services, and limiting technology use at oral presentations for contracts under $5,000,000. The ordinance aims to reduce procurement timelines, increase transparency, enhance fairness, and support small business participation. The Board of County Commissioners is the acting body. The ordinance was introduced on 7/20/2026 and is tentatively scheduled for a public hearing on 9/1/2026.
