Court approves 3D printer purchase for Office of Emergency Management and other capital items
Summary
The Court approved capital items including a 3D printer request from the Office of Emergency Management to produce prototypes for training and traffic-incident modeling, and approved claims, payroll and other budget amendments presented under the consent agenda.
Wise County Office of Emergency Management Coordinator Cody Powell requested approximately $8,000 to purchase a 3D printer and conditional tools for training and for producing prototypes to assist with traffic scenarios and multi-vehicle accident incident modeling on Highway 287; Powell said the printer itself costs approximately half the requested amount. The Court approved the request as part of Item 14 actions.
County Treasurer Katherine Hudson presented the monthly report for the period ended January 31, 2026. County staff presented claims, payroll and budget amendments; the Court approved the other items under Item 14 as presented. Powell said the printer will allow staff to print models usable in training and incident analysis.
The minutes do not specify detailed budget line items for the 3D printer purchase beyond the approximate $8,000 request; the Court recorded unanimous adoption of the consent and related items.
