Seward County to lease new LiveScan fingerprint equipment for $48,000 over five years
Summary
The Board authorized the Chair to sign a five-year lease with Idemia for LiveScan fingerprinting equipment totaling $48,000, citing more than a decade of use for the current system and the costs/options to replace it.
The Seward County Board of Commissioners authorized the chair May 19 to sign a Service Subscription Agreement with Idemia to lease new LiveScan fingerprint hardware and software for five years at a total lease cost of $48,000.
County officials said the existing LiveScan equipment is over 10 years old and that the county had three options: buy out the current equipment (with expired hardware/software), purchase new equipment outright, or lease new equipment for five years. After discussion of costs and equipment life, the board accepted the lease option.
Commissioner Darrell Zabrocki moved to authorize the Chair to sign the agreement; Commissioner Raegan Hain seconded the motion. The minutes recorded unanimous affirmative votes from Zabrocki, Hain, Ken Schmieding, Scott Pekarek and Chairperson Misty Ahmic.
The minutes do not specify the vendor implementation timeline or whether any trade-in or buyout options were included in the lease terms; those details were not provided in the meeting record.
