New Clinton County sheriff requests additional HVAC work; council approves $6,000 for community outreach
Summary
Sheriff Brendan Bright reported early‑term facility needs and requested $27,480 in HVAC control‑system cabling; the council approved a $6,000 spending request from commissary funds for community outreach items and volunteer shirts.
Newly seated Sheriff Brendan Bright, in his third week on the job, briefed the council on facility maintenance and community outreach plans. Bright said additional HVAC control‑system cabling work — about 90 cables — is needed as part of recently approved HVAC repairs; the work was quoted at $27,480 and the sheriff said budgeted line items exist to cover the expense.
Bright also requested permission to spend $6,000 in commissary funds for community‑outreach items and volunteer shirts for fairs, parades and other local events. The council approved the $6,000 commissary expenditure on a 5‑0 vote.
The sheriff’s presentation included a short update on outreach priorities and an assurance that the HVAC request ties to previously authorized jail repairs. Council members welcomed the new sheriff and encouraged cooperation through the upcoming budget cycle.
