Board authorizes quotes for sheriff's drone purchase up to $25,000
Summary
Montmorency commissioners authorized soliciting quotes for a new drone for the Sheriff's Office with a purchase cap of $25,000 and directed submission of a low bid for a used drone to NEMCOG.
The Montmorency County Board on May 14 authorized the Sheriff's Office to solicit quotes for a new drone purchase with a total purchase price up to $25,000 and directed staff to submit a low bid for a used drone to NEMCOG for potential purchase.
Sheriff Chad Brown was present when the board approved the motion (moved by Chair Mary Hardies and seconded by Lloyd Peltier). The motion authorizes pursuit of purchase options but does not obligate the county to complete a purchase beyond existing budget authority; further board action could be required if a purchase requires budget amendment.
The authorization is intended to allow the Sheriff to evaluate new and used equipment options and report recommended procurements and funding sources to the Controller/Administrator.
