“Temporary, they moved the radio with the security guard. And I'm gonna try and get on radio frequency. So it'd be the same thing, the panic button come up here and will be dispatched to city and county,” county staff member Mister Lobo said. Lobo told commissioners the change was made after the county moved the panic-button control in several locations and one had been switched to the jail’s control.

Lobo also said the clerk’s office will receive a heavy glass partition with multiple customer stations and a solid counter that eliminates the hinged door under the current counter. “So Right. They won't be able to get in that way,” he said, adding the change is being made to be proactive following an incident in which a “gentleman got kind of deranged.”

No formal vote was taken; staff presented the updates as operational steps the county will carry out. Commissioners asked questions and expressed support for proactive safety improvements.

Ending: Staff said they will continue to coordinate with security and will bring any necessary contracts or purchase orders back to the commission if required.","County staff reported temporary rerouting of panic-button alerts and plans to install a glass partition and solid counter at the clerk's office after a recent security incident.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6336786,"Jefferson County approves roughly $25,000 in animal‑shelter donations, adopts Resolution 2025‑005",136,326680,463175,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2280358-efc1430228b7c5d9faf6688f51e5663b&start=326&end=463","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2280358-efc1430228b7c5d9faf6688f51e5663b/thumbnail_326680.jpg","/articles/6336786/Jefferson-County/Indiana/Jefferson-County-approves-roughly-25000-in-animalshelter-donations-adopts-Resolution-2025005","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6336786-6799afc929f4405b9c365b1f0ff87ba3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771202595&Signature=XhwnTX3uXYPkrLWtIS561-uIvIPm0Qo81bKQkqMhp7jxb0iheu1BWV7uI~YRGnt2rIDxsi34bRfOI453AWSnNmgM2Fm~ThTxwltx8F3N9Jrg48aEWQGzcFoSc1SMdcVlSEDtaX0cvndmW4ZhIzyjfytnG2UnYjPxH7-ROSdwIyj-EtCAVLYLPrvZTbyczQ2ly1TbYYsBJcCLUdW1L9tYUj~sS~hyv8qDffFJA8BbYLVliTatpQMa5Qh8TRSeo7b867dt7UcEbuyClPhuOyHrXrJxw83lP7CSj0Xsj8FIQATENEknXv1b83fU-uBR~Xta5Lb8g~DNxU4cwykcH~AwCQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jefferson County commissioners approved using donations totaling about $25,000 for the county animal shelter and adopted Resolution 2025‑005 documenting the transfer, officials said at the meeting.

County staff reported donations totaling $25,004.33, with $10,451 allocated to account 4103.112700000, $12,982 to account 410321120 and $2,001 to account 410332133. “First thing on the animal shelter, they have some funding to receive. These are donations that we're receiving into the account,” a county official said at the meeting.

The commission voted to approve use of those donated funds and then took a separate vote to adopt Resolution 2025‑005. The resolution text read in the meeting lists the amount as $25,433 for the animal shelter donations (account 4103). The resolution was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

County officials did not provide additional detail in the transcript about the discrepancy between the $25,004.33 figure given earlier and the $25,433 amount recited with the resolution; the minutes will record the formally adopted resolution amount. Staff said the donations will be used for medicals, neuter services and general supplies.

The system will replace part of the county's Axon contract and provide wristbands and wall- or doorway-mounted RFID chips that deputies can scan with a handheld device. Sheriff Flint described the system's recordkeeping and accountability features in detail: “So when they go to court, when they go to medical, when they go to church, when they go to any activity, we can scan them in, scan them out … and that cuts down on liability related issues,” he said. He added that the system can force staff into prompted fields about an inmate's condition and can require a photo or video when certain prompts (for example, “combative”) are selected: “And depending on what prompts you pick on there… it forces you into another prompt where it makes you take a picture or a video of that person's actions at that moment.”

County officials said the upfront purchase and the first year of fees total $17,500 and that the funds used were available after an earlier Axon contract line was paid off early. The sheriff’s office told commissioners the vendor requires a three‑year commitment and that subsequent annual software and hosting fees are expected to be about $10,000 per year.

The sheriff's office and staff said the scanners are roughly the size of a cellphone, that each officer logs into a device so rounds are attributable to the individual officer, and that the system can alert staff when a pod or unit is nearing its required check interval.

Commission action: the commissioners moved and seconded the transfer and then approved it by voice vote. The recorded motion and approval were entered into the minutes as a transfer of $17,500 from account 1142.36310 (Axon contract) to purchase the RFID scanner system; the motion passed and the transfer will proceed pending any required contractor paperwork.

Implementation timeline: the sheriff said the vendor is currently backlogged and installation could take a few months after the contract is signed; the sheriff's office expects up to three days of staff training included in the contract.

No formal dissent or roll-call vote tally was recorded in the transcript.

Ending: Commissioners said they will obtain the vendor contract and routing approvals after the meeting so the sheriff's office can finalize installation and training.","Commissioners approved a $17,500 transfer from an Axon contract line to purchase an RFID inmate-scanning system intended to log inmate contacts, location and staff checks.","actionData","errors"]
