Alma council approves Buffalo County contract addendum and $38,700 for sheriff equipment
Summary
The council approved Addendum A to the Buffalo County law enforcement contract to address billing during suspended county coverage and authorized $38,700 from the city’s police capital outlay account for start-up equipment for the sheriff’s department.
The Alma Common Council voted to approve Addendum A to its law enforcement contract with the Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office and authorized $38,700 from the city’s police capital outlay account to purchase start-up equipment for the sheriff’s department, Finance Committee Chair Gary Jepsen reported.
Jepsen said the addendum was requested so the city would not be billed for county-provided law enforcement when services are suspended due to internal county staffing events; any services provided during a partial time period would be billed on a prorated basis. The council approved the addendum by roll call vote.
Separately, the council approved using $38,700 from the city’s capital outlay account to purchase the listed start-up equipment for sheriff operations. The motion to fund the equipment passed unanimously by roll call vote.
The meeting record does not list details of the specific equipment items, only the total amount and that funds are available in the capital outlay account.
