Commissioners approve $203,588 budget exception to fund Justice Center security upgrade
Summary
The board agreed the VMS and security control computer upgrade qualifies under Nebraska's Public Safety Exception; the remaining balance of $203,588 to Accurate Controls will be added to the Detention Center's General Fund budget as an exception.
Detention Center Director Sara Stenger presented options to pay Accurate Controls for a VMS System and Security Control Computer Upgrade at the Justice Center. The board concluded the upgrade qualifies for the Public Safety Exception under Nebraska statute and agreed to add the remaining balance of $203,588.00 to the Detention Center's General Fund budget as a budget exception.
The board discussed the statutory basis for exceeding the property tax spending cap when funding core public safety services and then moved to apply the exception. The minutes record the amount ($203,588.00) and that the board was in favor of taking a budget exception to fund the payment; no additional contract terms were recorded in the minutes.
