Dunn County board to consider $2M+ radio grant, multiple budget amendments
Summary
County Manager Dan Dunbar said the July 29 Dunn County Board will consider a grant of over $2,000,000 for new radios for law enforcement and emergency response and several other budget amendments covering sheriff equipment, veteran services, bicycle-safety equipment, and emergency communications.
Dan Dunbar, Dunn County manager, told viewers the County Manager report will include several budget amendments, including "a grant for over $2,000,000 for new radios for all law enforcement and emergency response agencies in Dunn County." He said the board will consider that grant as part of a packet of amendments on July 29.
Dunbar also identified other proposed appropriations: a Sheriff's Office grant for new drug-enforcement equipment; additional state funding for veterans services; funding "for supporting bicycle safety equipment for the public health department" described in the transcript as a "Mayo Spark grama" (phrase unclear); and funding related to emergency communications and preparedness initiatives. He said the executive committee is bringing these items forward for consideration under the county's budget amendment process.
Dunbar framed the proposed changes to the county's budget amendment and adjustment policy as clarifying how grants and donations can be incorporated "while maintaining transparency and appropriate oversight throughout the approval process." The board's action on July 29 will determine whether the amendments are adopted; the preview did not list final vote tallies or effective dates.
