Livingston County approves up to $170,000 purchase for jail generator
Summary
The Livingston County Board of Commissioners voted 9-0 on May 12 to authorize an agreement with Ancona Controls to buy a generator for the county jail and to approve a related budget amendment; the county will end a $1,200-per-month rental once the purchase order is placed.
The Livingston County Board of Commissioners on May 12 unanimously approved a resolution authorizing an agreement with Ancona Controls to purchase a generator for the Livingston County Jail in a measure described as “not to exceed $170,000.”
The vote occurred after Commissioner Fiani moved to approve the resolution and Commissioner Elserman seconded; the board adopted the measure in a roll-call vote, 9-0. The resolution authorizes a budget amendment tied to the purchase.
Commissioners said the purchase will replace a rented portable generator the jail has been using. According to county staff during the meeting, Ancona Controls will begin paying $1,200 per month for the county’s current portable generator once the order is placed.
The motion’s maker, Commissioner Fiani, presented the measure as a finance committee item carried forward to the full board. County clerks and staff confirmed paperwork was on file before the roll-call vote. The clerk conducted the roll call; every commissioner present voted yes.
The resolution does not specify a delivery or installation date in the meeting record, nor did county staff supply a departmental implementation timeline during the discussion. The board recorded the spending authorization and budget amendment; final procurement, installation and service details were not discussed on the record.
The board adjourned after completing the evening’s remaining business.
