Commissioners approve D6 treatment court lease with Power County and copier purchase for program operations
Summary
Board approved a lease to pay $135 monthly for Power County space used by the D6 treatment court, replacing a prior $400 monthly arrangement, and authorized purchasing a copier from Dex Imaging for $7,495 with quarterly $75 service.
Jason Dietrich, representing D6 Treatment, asked the commissioners to sign two agreements: a lease with Power County to provide rental space for the D6 treatment court and a purchase agreement for a copier through Dex Imaging.
Dietrich said the Power County lease dates to an earlier arrangement (10/1/2019) and that the new arrangement would require the county to pay $135 per month; he contrasted that with a previous $400-per-month payment the county had been making in a different county. Dietrich estimated the change reduces annual rent from $4,800 to $1,620, producing a notable cost saving for the program. He said some counties reinvest rent receipts back into treatment-court funds and that Power County provides ancillary support such as drug testing; Dietrich described the arrangement as one way to sustain the program’s operations.
On the copier, Dietrich said Dex Imaging submitted a lower price than another vendor and proposed a purchase price of $7,495 with a quarterly service agreement of $75. Commissioners asked operational questions about annual vs. quarterly billing and whether the item was budgeted; Dietrich said the purchase and service were included in the program budget.
Why this matters: D6 treatment court operations and their contracting decisions affect how behavioral-health and reentry services are delivered across county lines and drive modest recurring costs and savings. The lease reduces the program’s rental expense; the copier purchase centralizes equipment costs for the court’s office functions.
On the record: Commissioners moved and approved both the lease with Power County and the copier purchase with Dex Imaging. The lease includes a termination clause with 30-day notice as discussed; the transcript records the quoted $135 monthly rent, the $7,495 copier purchase price and the $75 quarterly maintenance fee.
