Plumas supervisors approve routine purchases, HR pay schedule and budget transfers; appoint First 5 commissioner
Summary
At the April 8 meeting the Board approved multiple consent and action items including sheriff equipment and LiveScan expenses, seasonal boat patrol hires, an updated county pay schedule, a Farm Advisor vehicle purchase and several information‑technology contracts; the board also appointed Ashley Simpson to First 5 Plumas County.
The Plumas County Board of Supervisors approved a set of routine operational items on April 8, including procurement, personnel and budget items the county said were included in the fiscal year 2024–25 budget.
Actions approved by the board included payment of a noncontract invoice to cover IT battery backup work at the sheriff’s office, replacement and purchase of a LiveScan cabinet and accessories for the correctional facility, authorization to recruit up to 12 seasonal boat patrol officers, and the approval of a sheriff’s office invoice for equipment maintenance. The board also adopted a pay schedule resolution so new positions (disaster recovery coordinator and a bookmobile library assistant) could be posted with CalPERS, and it authorized the Farm Advisor program to buy a Chevy Colorado (not to exceed $44,125) for field work.
County IT purchases approved included a social‑media archiving subscription, website accessibility and SEO monitoring services, and annual software maintenance for county systems. The board also approved supplemental budget transfers associated with a CPUC Local Agency Technical Assistance (LATA) grant; staff said the transfers reflect timing of reimbursements rather than additional county general fund costs.
The board appointed Ashley Simpson to the First 5 Plumas County Children and Families Commission. Several items required roll‑call votes; staff said many approvals were for purchases already budgeted in the current fiscal year and that some acquisitions (for example a Farm Advisor vehicle) may not be delivered until the next fiscal year.
No controversial policy items were decided under this set of actions; several board members thanked staff for delivering full documentation and for keeping purchases within budget lines.
