Summary
Greene County approved a $35,000 transfer for the county’s share of a device described in the meeting as a 'drug machine' to be installed in the new jail; staff said the total cost is roughly $108,000 and the county will fund its portion from '1 Ohio' monies, with other jurisdictions contributing the remainder.
Greene County commissioners approved a transfer on May 15 to pay $35,000 as the county’s share of equipment for the new county jail described in the meeting as a "drug machine." County staff told commissioners the total cost of the equipment is about $108,000; Greene County’s share will come from a fund referenced in the meeting as "1 Ohio" money and other communities will cover the remaining cost.
The transfer appeared on the agenda under general transfers. Commissioners discussed the amount briefly and approved the motion; the board noted the funding source and that the equipment is intended to speed prosecution, as one speaker put it.
The meeting record does not provide a technical description of the device beyond the term used in the discussion. The commissioners approved the transfer by voice vote.
