Fiscal Court authorizes $2,700 radio purchase for sheriff’s office; packet shows equipment list
Summary
Spencer County ordered radios for the sheriff’s office for $2,700 from Shelbyville Police Department; packet lists specific Motorola models but contains an internal inconsistency between item counts and summary language.
Spencer County Fiscal Court on May 5 ordered purchase of radios intended for the Sheriff’s Office for a total of $2,700. The motion was made by Esq. Cotton, seconded by Esq. Eldridge, and the Court recorded the motion as approved.
Meeting materials associated with the purchase reference equipment from the Shelbyville Police Department and list six Motorola TK‑5720 radios at $300 each (total $1,800) and eight Motorola TK‑5220 radios at $150 each (total $900), which together equal $2,700. The narrative line in the minutes states "approve the purchase of 6 radios ... in the amount of $2700," which is inconsistent with the detailed invoice line items in the packet. The minutes do not reconcile the difference or specify final unit counts for county inventory.
The minutes record the action as an order to purchase radios and identify Sheriff Andrew Ware and Shelbyville Police Department representatives in supporting material; the Court did not record conditions, delivery timing, or serial numbers in the minutes.
