Summary
Paulding County approved the purchase of 62 medical sensors (including gateways, installation and five years of maintenance) for $610,000, to be funded from opioid settlement funds.
The Paulding County Board of Commissioners approved a purchase of medical monitoring equipment using opioid settlement funds.
The county authorized acquisition of 62 medical sensors that include the sensor, gateway, installation and five years of maintenance for a total price of $610,000. The chair introduced the item and the board approved the motion on a voice vote.
Why it matters: the purchase uses opioid settlement funding for public‑health related equipment; the meeting record does not specify the operational plan for the sensors, which agency will manage them, or measures of expected public‑health impact.
Board action: the motion to approve the purchase was recorded and passed by voice vote. The transcript does not name the vendor or provide delivery, deployment or performance details for the sensors.
