Commission approves multiple jail-related contracts and an $18,050 opioid-fund expenditure for inmate monitoring
Summary
The commission approved requests from the sheriff to engage CMA architects for jail addition scoping, inspect a vacant Asheville building ($2,250), perform HVAC test-and-balance ($11,300), repair a jail gate ($9,873), and use opioid funds to purchase inmate medical monitoring systems ($18,050) plus an estimated $1,000 for electrical work.
Clerk read a package of sheriff's requests: engage CMA architects to scope a possible jail addition, hire a firm to inspect a vacant former bank building in Asheville for $2,250, perform a test-and-balance on the jail HVAC system for $11,300 (Fairfield LLC), and accept a $9,873 quote from Gory Regan to repair a damaged gate at the jail. The commission moved and seconded each item and approved them.
Clerk also presented a request to use opioid settlement funds to purchase inmate medical monitoring systems and bands from Reassurance Solutions for $18,050 on a five-year arrangement and an estimated $1,000 for associated electrical work. Staff said the county attorney and auditor would review the expenditure of opioid funds; commissioners approved the procurement and related budget amendments as needed.
