Charles Mix County accepts $16,060.60 election equipment grant; reconsiders prior Homeland Security grant motion
Loading...
Summary
The board approved a $16,060.60 Election Equipment Grant to purchase poll pads and test them this summer and voted to reconsider, and delay further discussion of, a previously approved Homeland Security Grant for elections.
The Charles Mix County Board of Commissioners on March 26 accepted an Election Equipment Grant totaling $16,060.60 to purchase poll pads and to conduct testing this summer. The motion to accept the grant was moved by Commissioner Nick Stotz, seconded by Vice Chairman Kory Standy, and carried unanimously.
Under old business the board also voted to reconsider the March 12 motion to accept a Homeland Security Grant for elections; the board’s motion to reconsider (moved by Standy, seconded by Stotz) directs that further discussion of that grant occur at a future meeting. The minutes record the reconsideration vote but provide no additional detail on the Homeland Security Grant’s amount, vendor, or required match.
The minutes do not record discussion of alternate equipment options, procurement timetable beyond “this summer” testing, or follow-up tasks assigned to staff; the auditor and election staff will administer the grant and purchase under county procurement policy.
