Summary

Chief Small reported the ORI WI0213000 is federally recognized and reinstated; the board agreed to fund up to $1,000 for a Toughbook to enable local license-plate and ID checks as part of separating police operations from the sheriff's department.

Chief Small told the board that the department’s ORI number (WI0213000) has been federally recognized and reinstated, enabling the department to run license-plate and driver-license checks independently. To complete the separation from the sheriff’s office he said he needs a computer (a Toughbook) and estimated the cost up to $1,000.

The board voted unanimously to supplement whatever is needed to acquire the Toughbook and to support the department's equipment needs as it implements the change. No additional timetable or procurement details were provided in the meeting record.
