BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: October 7, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Dino J. Villani
SUBJECT: Direct Payment of Airgas Invoice for August 2014
DEPARTMENT: Public Safety
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request approval for direct payment of the August 2014 Airgas,
Inc., invoice in the amount of $3,164.28.
BACKGROUND: Airgas, Inc., is the sole medical oxygen vendor for Okaloosa County
Emergency Medical Services. Historically, invoices for oxygen services have been paid by
after-the-fact purchase order. “After-the-fact” meaning the department did not submit a
requisition to Purchasing for approval prior to placing the order. These types of purchases do not
comply with the current Purchasing Policy and as of October 1, 2013; Finance no longer
approves purchase order payments for services invoiced after-the-fact.
Staff is working with Purchasing and Finance to ensure requests/purchases are made according
to an approved strategy in accordance with the Purchasing Policy. Board approval to direct pay
the outstanding invoice is required.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Recommend approval of direct payment for the Airgas invoice.
