At the Oct. 27 meeting, Woods County officials discussed a Justice Assistant Grant application submitted by the sheriff’s office to fund technology purchases.

The sheriff’s request was described as seeking funds to purchase “3 additional mobile data terminals, 3 terminal printers, and 1 document,” and a speaker noted, “Basically, it's stuff they've already done.” No grant amount, grant program identifier, or procurement details were provided in the recorded remarks.

Meeting participants observed that similar items have been requested in prior years. The transcript records general acknowledgment—“We've done. We've done it year after year”—but does not record a motion, second, or vote on the sheriff’s request.

Because the transcript does not show a vote or routable instructions, the county’s official minutes or grant application files are needed to confirm whether Woods County authorized use of the Justice Assistant Grant for the sheriff’s purchases and whether any retroactive approval was required.
