Appomattox County approves public-safety radio purchases after presentation by sheriff and public-safety director
Summary
Sheriff Robert Richardson and Public Safety Director John Benoit presented a radio-system project; the board approved purchases as moved in the meeting. The motion record includes the amount as read in the meeting transcript; staff said no new local funds were required.
Sheriff Robert Richardson and Public Safety Director John Benoit appeared before the Appomattox County Board of Supervisors to discuss a radio-system project for public safety. After a brief presentation and board questions, a supervisor moved to approve purchases for the project and the board voted to approve the purchases as presented.
The motion made during the meeting read, as recorded in the hearing, that the purchases be approved “not to exceed $2.09 $13.06 27.” The motion was moved by Miss Grove Skills and seconded by Mister Hebsen; the board voted in favor. During discussion a supervisor asked whether the action required new county funds; a presenter indicated the request was for approval of the purchases and that no new local funds were being requested at that time.
Why it matters: the radio project supports emergency and public-safety communications across the county; the board’s approval authorizes staff to proceed with the purchases described in the meeting record.
Ending: Supervisors thanked the presenters for their work; staff and public-safety leaders said they would continue implementation and provide updates as required.
