Plumas County supervisors approve consent agenda, a Chester sublease, software contract and multiple personnel actions
Summary
At its Jan. 13 meeting, the board approved the routine consent agenda, formally approved a Chester Public Utility District sublease, authorized a $30,000 case management contract for County Council (with a corrected fiscal-year reference), approved a $13,700 Kinetic Breaching Tool for the Sheriff, and adopted personnel classification and MOU side-letter changes.
The Plumas County Board of Supervisors took a slate of administrative actions on Jan. 13, approving routine consent items and several separate departmental requests.
The consent agenda (with item 1b removed earlier for discussion) was approved by roll call after Supervisor Goss moved and Supervisor Engle seconded. The board then considered the Chester Public Utility District sublease for property at 251 Chester Airport Road. Facilities staff and county counsel advised the board that no additional county signature was strictly required but that formal approval would clarify indemnification and insurance responsibilities; the board voted to approve the sublease.
County Council presented a procurement for case management and timekeeping software with PS Technologies, Inc., not to exceed $30,000 and effective Jan. 13, 2026. During questions staff clarified that the $30,000 covered initial purchase and onboarding, with an ongoing subscription (~$1,000/month) thereafter. Board members corrected a budget-year typo in the motion (the item is in the FY 2025–26 budget) and amended the motion accordingly before approving the contract.
The Sheriff’s Office presented purchase of a Kinetic Breaching Tool (a mechanical entry device operated by a .45 blank) not to exceed $13,700 from law-enforcement supplemental funds; the board approved that purchase. Human Resources brought forward position-allocation changes that establish a paralegal career ladder and a new legal-administrative-services-officer classification with a base wage of $36.90 per hour; resolutions and a side letter to add three positions to the Confidential Employees Association MOU were approved. The auditor was authorized to recruit and fill an allocated fiscal/technical services assistant series position.
Most votes were recorded by roll call and passed unanimously. The meeting closed after a reduced closed-session agenda; the board reported that a public-employee performance evaluation was continued to the next meeting.
