Background and Discussion:

The original request for the PLSR Sponsorship Agreement was submitted by Precinct 2 to HCP for review by CAO on 07-July-2025.  The request was not processed in a timely fashion.

 

A method of payment, which was agreed upon by the new leadership at HCP and the Auditors Office, would have allowed this invoice to be paid.  CAO insisted upon a Settlement Agreement.

 

Expected Impact:

PLSR completed and delivered the sponsorship services and requires payment for their services.
