Sheriff receives $12,900 boating grant; board approves equipment trade-in and auctions
Summary
Polk County Sheriff James Tadman reported a $12,900 federal boating-safety grant and the board approved trading in an older Sea-Doo toward a new Yamaha jet ski, using an auction service for expired emergency equipment, and posting two jury-attendant positions.
Polk County Sheriff James Tadman told the board May 19 that the Sheriffs Office was awarded a $12,900 State of Minnesota Federal Boating Safety Equipment Grant to purchase a Yamaha VX Cruiser HO jet ski. The board approved trading in a 2011 Sea-Doo GTI LTD (Serial #YDV29725F111) toward the purchase, with the motion adopted unanimously.
Tadman also asked the board to approve selling expired emergency lighting, prisoner partitions and equipment from retired squads. The board authorized using Resource Auctions to assist with the sale, noting the equipment is not compatible with current vehicle models. Finally, the board approved posting and hiring two jury attendants for the sheriffs office.
The sheriffs April monthly report and the grant paperwork were filed with the county administrator per the minutes; procurement specifics and timelines for equipment replacement were not specified in the meeting record.
