Summary
Sheriff Matt Maschmann and IT Director Galyn Nook told the Poweshiek County Board of Supervisors that the uninterruptible power supply at the sheriff’s office/dispatch center is original to the building and that the lowest replacement quote they obtained is about $59,000. No purchase motion was recorded.
Sheriff Matt Maschmann and Galyn Nook, the county’s IT director, briefed the Poweshiek County Board of Supervisors on March 2 about replacing the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) at the sheriff’s office and dispatch center.
Maschmann said the UPS is original to the public safety building and is a vital component for maintaining operations during power outages. Nook told the board he obtained multiple quotes for a replacement and that the lowest bid came in at about $59,000.
The discussion noted the UPS functions as a battery backup when electricity is not available and that replacing it is tied to continuity of operations for dispatch and other public safety systems. The minutes record the presentation and the quote but do not show the board taking formal purchasing action or approving funds for a replacement during this meeting.
The board moved on to other agenda items and did not record a vote to purchase equipment at this session. Next steps were not specified in the minutes.
