Roosevelt County board approves ICIP for senior center, approves indigent recommendations and tables detention contract
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 2025‑16 approving an ICIP for Los Abuelos Senior Center (no funds committed), approved staff recommendations on indigent claims (transcript amounts unclear), and tabled a renewal contract with Apex Solutions for detention‑center cameras pending further review of possible consolidation with sheriff’s system.
At its regular meeting, the Roosevelt County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 2025‑16 adopting the FY2027‑31 infrastructure capital improvement plan (ICIP) for the Los Abuelos senior center. Staff described phased requests that include a handicap‑accessible vehicle (quoted at about $100,000 in the hearing) and a phased facility improvement plan; the board approved the ICIP as the senior center’s plan and noted the county is only acting as fiscal agent—no county funds were approved at the meeting.
In indigent matters, staff presented a batch of claims and recommended approval of some claims and disapproval of others; commissioners conducted the indigent hearing, approved the staff recommendations and moved out of the indigent hearing. The transcript contained garbled figures for some claim totals; staff will produce formal minutes and a claims register with definitive amounts.
On contracts, staff presented an annual renewal with Apex Solutions for detention‑center camera and intercom services. Commissioners questioned yearly cost increases and asked whether the jail and sheriff office contracts could be combined to lower costs. The board voted to table the Apex contract until the next meeting while staff explores consolidation and pricing options.
What’s next: staff will provide a detailed claims register for the indigent approvals, return with procurement options for the Apex contract including possible consolidation with sheriff office services, and continue work on ICIP funding and grant applications tied to the senior center requests.
