Union County approves vehicle purchase and considers using opioid settlement funds for jail medical sensors
Summary
The board approved buying a 2018 Chevy pickup for the Weed department at $24,950 and discussed using opioid settlement money to buy Reassurance Solutions medical sensors for the jail after a demonstration by the chief jailer; the minutes record motions carried where specified.
Union County commissioners approved the purchase of a 2018 Chevy 4x4 for the Weed Department for $24,950 and recorded the claim payment to RLS Enterprise.
Weed Director Tabke presented the vehicle request; the board approved the purchase by motion (motion recorded by Commissioner Dailey, seconded by Commissioner Ustad). The minutes later show a motion by Kimmel, second by Dailey to approve the claim payment to RLS Enterprise for $24,950.00; the motion carried.
The board also discussed using opioid settlement funds for equipment in the jail. Chief State’s Attorney Zenner reported the county has received opioid settlement money and proposed using some funds to purchase Reassurance Solutions medical sensors for the jail. Chief Jailer Thompson explained how the sensors operate. Present for that discussion were State’s Attorney Miller, Sheriff Prouty and Chief Deputy Sheriff Christie. The minutes record the discussion but do not show a formal vote to purchase; the proposal was described and explained in the meeting.
The minutes do not provide contract terms or purchase orders for the sensors, nor a final appropriation decision; they record the discussion and the demonstration/explanation of the sensors’ operation.
