BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: July 15, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Dino J. Villani
SUBJECT: Outstanding Airgas Invoice for May 2014
DEPARTMENT: Public Safety
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request approval to pay Airgas, Inc., for the outstanding May 2014
invoice in the amount of $2,699.38.
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 outstanding invoice
to Airgas.
