Logan County approves first payment for Axon jail equipment and authorizes jailer to sign contract
Summary
Fiscal Court approved a first-year payment to Axon Enterprises for jail equipment and authorized the jailer to sign the contract after staff identified existing budget lines to cover the cost without amending the budget.
Logan County Fiscal Court on June 10 approved a first payment to Axon Enterprises so the county jail can purchase Axon equipment and authorized the jailer to sign the contract.
The jail’s interim representative said staff located funds within the jail budget to cover an initial payment and asked the court to approve the jailer to sign the agreement. The court approved a motion “to accept the Axon Enterprise Incorporated first payment” and to allow the jailer to sign, and completed a roll-call vote in favor.
Court discussion focused on where the payment would come from within the current budget rather than adding new appropriations. The jail representative told the court he and county fiscal staff had reviewed pay periods, overtime and other obligations and determined the line item identified could support the initial payment without a formal budget amendment.
The motion referenced a first payment amount in the meeting materials; the court approved executing the contract with those terms and instructed staff to do a budget transfer when processing the payment. The court voted by roll call; commissioners recorded affirmative votes on the motion.
The county will process the payment, transfer budget lines as described by staff and move forward with Axon’s contract implementation. No additional budget amendment was approved at the meeting.
