Board approves 2026 Tahoe for sheriff and authorizes IT security enhancements after closed session
Summary
Supervisors approved purchase and outfitting of a 2026 Tahoe for the Sheriff's Department not to exceed $90,000, gave IT authority to enhance security at the sheriff's office, and held a closed session to discuss updated security procedures.
The Chickasaw County Board of Supervisors voted July 20 to approve the Sheriff's Department purchasing a 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe and outfitting it, with a not-to-exceed total of $90,000. The motion was made by Supervisor Breitbach and seconded by Supervisor Carter; the roll call was recorded as All Ayes.
The board also entered closed session under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(k) (ref. Iowa Code 22.7(50)) beginning at 10:10 AM to discuss updated security procedures for county-owned property and ended the closed session at 11:04 AM. On separate motion (SEG 002) the board granted IT authority to enhance security at the Sheriff's office; that motion passed by unanimous roll call. The minutes do not provide operational details discussed in closed session or the specific security measures to be implemented; follow-up implementation falls to the sheriff’s office and IT staff.
