Summary
Magistrates unanimously approved a claim against the opioid settlement fund and transfers dated 12/23/2025 to purchase a body scanner for the Grant County Detention Center; the motion was made by Magistrate Riley and seconded by Magistrate Humphrey.
Grant County magistrates unanimously approved a claim against the county’s opioid settlement fund to purchase a body scanner for the Grant County Detention Center.
At the special meeting, the presiding official introduced the item and said transfers dated Dec. 23, 2025, had been prepared from the opioid settlement fund for the equipment purchase. "I make a motion to approve the claim this afternoon against the opioid settlement fund with the transfers presented dated 12/23/2025 to purchase the body scanner for the Great County Detention Center," said Magistrate Riley, who moved the motion. Magistrate Humphrey seconded. After members voiced their agreement the presiding official stated the motion carried.
The claim was presented in the form of transfers from the opioid settlement fund; no dollar amount was discussed on the record. The presiding official noted that Peggy, who had been helping with the item, was absent due to a family health matter but had nevertheless prepared the transfers.
The magistrates did not discuss alternative equipment, procurement timelines, vendor names, or installation details during the meeting. The motion recorded approval for the transfers dated Dec. 23, 2025, but the transcript does not specify when the scanner would be purchased, delivered, or become operational.
The court moved on to an added item after approving the claim; no additional debate or separate staff presentation about the scanner was recorded.
