Sheriff gets approval to buy three shipping containers for evidence and range storage ($16,500)
Summary
Potter County approved the sheriff’s purchase of three shipping containers for evidence, civil property and the gun range at a cost of $16,500 from federal forfeiture funds; commissioners approved the purchase 5–0 and discussed potential delivery locations.
Sheriff Scott asked the court to approve buying three shipping containers for secure storage of large evidence items, civil department property and for replacement at the gun range; the total purchase price is $16,500 and funds will come from federal forfeiture accounts. "We need a place that we can securely store large evidence items," Scott said, explaining prior storage facilities had been lost and that one older trailer at the gun range needs replacement.
Commissioners discussed whether one container could be delivered to a new city property location being negotiated as part of a property swap; staff said the county could hold off or move a delivered container if necessary. The motion to purchase the three containers with forfeiture funds passed 5–0.
