Commission allows prosecutor to execute IPAC/Axon contract pending appropriation
Summary
Commissioners authorized the prosecutor to proceed with a discounted contract from IPAC and Axon to provide services to county prosecutor offices, on condition counsel reviews the agreement and the prosecutor secures appropriation from a nonreverting fund.
The Scott County Board of Commissioners reviewed and authorized the county prosecutor to execute a contract offered through IPAC with Axon to provide prosecutor-services software at a discounted rate, provided counsel reviews the contract and the prosecutor secures the needed appropriation.
Staff explained that the contract rate could be locked if executed prior to January 2026, while the prosecutor intends to request the appropriation from the county council. The presenter said the funds would come from a nonreverting fund within the prosecutor’s budget; the amounts have not yet been formally appropriated by the council. Counsel will review the agreement under county code before execution.
A commissioner moved to approve the prosecutor executing the contract and to forward funding questions to counsel for the county council schedule; the motion was seconded and recorded. The board’s approval at the meeting was conditional on counsel’s review and the prosecutor securing appropriation, per the discussion.
No vote tally was recorded in the transcript. Staff noted the contract offers additional data and discovery tools intended to assist local agencies and prosecutors in sharing information and meeting discovery obligations.
