Butler County approves $19,657.49 purchase to replace defective 30‑gallon braising pan at detention center
Summary
Detention administrators told the board a tilt‑skillet failed and repairs were not cost‑effective; the commission approved buying a Groen BPM‑30EC for $19,657.49 to restore kitchen capacity.
Undersheriff Daimon Cundiff and Detention Administrator Larry Reynolds asked the Board to approve replacement of a defective 30‑gallon Groen braising pan (tilt‑skillet) used to prepare large‑volume meals at the Butler County Detention Facility.
Staff described a mechanical failure that prevents the unit from tilting and said repair was not cost‑effective given the equipment age. The loss reduced kitchen capacity and efficiency. The Board approved purchase of a Groen BPM‑30EC stainless steel 30‑gallon braising pan for $19,657.49; Commissioner Kelly Herzet moved and Commissioner Jeff Masterson seconded the motion, which carried 5‑0.
