Leavenworth County approves $49,000 alcohol‑fund distribution and $19,000 cybersecurity software purchase
Summary
The commission approved the consent agenda, a $49,000 distribution from the county Special Alcohol Fund and a $19,000 purchase for Tenable vulnerability management software after staff presentations and brief commissioner discussion; all motions passed at the March 25 meeting.
The Leavenworth County Commission approved several administrative and procurement items at its March 25 meeting, including distributions from the county Special Alcohol Fund and an information‑systems software purchase.
John Groves, representing the county alcohol fund council, requested $49,000 in disbursements. Commissioners discussed the program’s role in supporting prom/graduation safety and other prevention efforts; several commissioners said local experience and state statistics indicate these programs contribute to lowering alcohol‑related juvenile incidents. The requested distributions were approved.
County information‑systems staff requested authorization to reallocate existing IS budget funds to purchase Tenable vulnerability management software. Staff said the license is $17,000 annually and the total first‑year cost including support is $19,000; two bids were solicited and this bidder was the low responsive bidder. Commissioners approved the purchase, saying proactive cybersecurity investments reduce the risk of costly incidents.
The consent agenda was adopted as presented. Votes on these items were recorded during the meeting and carried.
