LaGrange County Council approves sheriff's commissary-funded intercom and dryer purchases

LaGrange County Council · February 9, 2026

Summary

At its Feb. 9 meeting the LaGrange County Council unanimously approved sheriff-requested purchases to replace jail intercoms and to buy new dryers, both to be paid from the jail commissary account.

The LaGrange County Council on Feb. 9 unanimously approved two equipment purchases requested by LaGrange County Sheriff Tracey Harker to be paid from the jail commissary account. The requests covered replacement of the jail intercoms and purchase of new dryers to support jail operations.

Sheriff Tracey Harker asked the council for approval of both purchases. Council Member Jeffrey A. Campos moved to approve the intercom replacement and later moved to approve the dryer purchase; Harold D. Gingerich seconded the intercom motion and Karen S. Eagleson seconded the dryer motion. President James R. Young and the five voting council members recorded unanimous approval; Jeffrey L. Brill was absent.

The purchases were explicitly identified as payable from the jail commissary account rather than the county's general fund. The minutes do not record dollar amounts for the intercoms or dryers.

The council recorded the formal motions and carried each by unanimous vote, signaling council support for the sheriff's request to maintain jail infrastructure. No follow-up deadlines, contract details or vendors were specified in the minutes.

The council moved on to other business after the votes.
