Summary
Commissioners approved budget adjustments to accept several grants, including a $141,000 multi-jurisdictional interoperability grant for communications equipment and Operation Stone Garden; staff said equipment should be purchased by the end of August.
Finance staff presented and the court approved budget adjustments necessary to accept multiple grants, including Operation Stone Garden and a $141,000 multi-jurisdictional interoperability grant for communications equipment.
The finance director said the interoperability grant (grant number 54915O1) is a reimbursable award of $141,000 and that the equipment purchased under the grant should be acquired by the end of August. The court discussed technical interoperability questions related to the county’s shift toward Starlink terminals and scheduled a meeting on Aug. 6 to review how Starlink will interoperate with existing tower-based communications.
The court approved the budget adjustments and the grants were entered into the county’s financial records; staff noted some items required further technical coordination with the sheriff and communications personnel before final procurement.
