Dubois County Council to seek $35,000 for courthouse security upgrades
Summary
The Council unanimously agreed to advertise for a $35,000 additional appropriation from the LIT‑ED fund to purchase courthouse security equipment, after EMA Director Tammy Humbert presented quotes totaling $34,622.07 for detectors, an X‑ray scanner and other items.
The Dubois County Council on Nov. 18 voted to advertise for an additional appropriation of $35,000 from the LIT‑ED fund to pay for new courthouse security equipment.
EMA Director Tammy Humbert presented vendor quotes for a metal detector, handheld scanner, AutoClear X‑ray scanner, utility totes, a locking file cabinet, a security desk, an inspection mirror and retractable belts for non‑exits, with equipment costs totaling $34,622.07. The cost of electric receptacles was also included in the estimate.
Council members expressed unanimous support for moving the funding request to public advertisement so the appropriation can be considered formally. The next procedural step is publication of the advertisement and later consideration of the appropriation ordinance.
The action was recorded as a consensus to advertise; no formal vote tally by member was recorded in the meeting minutes.
