Putnam County committee to pre-file resolution allowing sheriff to buy dual-sided classification printer
Summary
The Putnam County Protective Services Committee voted unanimously Dec. 9 to pre-file a resolution for Budgetary Amendment 25A117, enabling the Sheriff’s Office to use Inmate Commissary Account funds to purchase a dual-sided classification printer; two Sheriff fund transfers were noted and the meeting adjourned at 6:14 p.m.
The Putnam County Protective Services Committee voted unanimously Dec. 9 to pre-file a resolution authorizing Budgetary Amendment 25A117, which would allow the Sheriff’s Office to use the Inmate Commissary Account to purchase a dual-sided classification printer.
Acting Sheriff Brian Hess said the office’s current printer “is on its last legs and this will allow them to replace it,” and he told the committee the Inmate Commissary fund “is to be used for the benefit of the inmates.” Chairman Jonke moved to pre-file the necessary resolution; Legislator Addonizio seconded the motion and all members present voted in favor.
The action recorded in the committee minutes shows the motion was to pre-file the resolution (a procedural step toward adoption) rather than final enactment of the budget amendment itself. The record does not show a substantive debate over alternatives or funding amounts, and no dollar figures were provided during the discussion.
Committee members also noted two Sheriff fund transfers for the record: Fund Transfer 25T453 (automotive chargebacks) and Fund Transfer 25T469 (training expenses). Both transfers were listed as FYI and were “duly noted” by the committee; no votes or further discussion were recorded on those items.
The meeting began at 6:10 p.m. and adjourned at 6:14 p.m. after Chairman Jonke made a motion to adjourn, which Legislator Birmingham seconded and which passed unanimously. The minutes were submitted by Deputy Clerk Beth Robinson.
Next steps: the committee’s motion will be recorded as a pre-filing of the necessary resolution; the transcript does not record when the resolution will next appear on an agenda for a vote.
