Pre-RFPPublic SafetyDetected May 13, 2026

Under new business, the Board discussed hiring special duty officers for traffic control during the Memorial Tournament in early June, and Fiscal Officer Jill Davis will request officers from the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office. This indicates a recurring, event-driven public safety and traffic management need tied to a specific annual tournament. While officer services are expected to be provided by the Sheriff’s Office, there may be demand for supplemental traffic control equipment, signage, planning, and communication tools around the event.Vendors offering traffic control devices, portable message signs, event traffic plans, and public notification tools can target this repeat yearly need. A practical next conversation would be to understand what worked and what gaps existed in prior tournaments so they can propose supporting equipment or planning services.

Law enforcement personnel likely come via interagency arrangements; vendor opportunities are more around supporting equipment and planning than officer staffing.
