From the meeting
At its September 15, 2026 special meeting, the board appointed Tracy Smola, Administrator Coordinator, and Chantelle Dowling, Operations Manager, to oversee operation of the VBDL system. The action followed the closed-session personnel discussion and indicates an interim management structure is now in place. Sellers tied to library operations, technology, and services should track who is now directing day-to-day decisions.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
