Commissioners approve panic button, new door for prosecutor's office after lower-cost alternative proposed
Summary
Jefferson County commissioners unanimously authorized Prosecuting Attorney Paul Butikofer to add a panic button and install a new door for his office after a building-maintenance representative proposed that change as a lower-cost alternative to a larger security bid.
Jefferson County commissioners voted March 16 to allow Prosecuting Attorney Paul Butikofer to install a panic button and a new office door, after building-maintenance staff recommended the change as a more cost-effective alternative to the vendor bid. "They feel like a solid door and adding an additional panic button in the office is an agreeable solution instead of proceeding with the bid," the maintenance representative said during the discussion.
Commissioner Young moved to "authorize the prosecuting attorney to add a panic button and to install a new door after cost estimates are received," and the motion passed on a roll-call vote: Commissioner Clark — aye; Commissioner Young — aye; Chairman Hancock — aye. County records show a vendor bid received by the prosecutor was "a little over $3,000," which the office noted while discussing options. Prosecutor Paul Butikofer left the meeting at 9:11:01 a.m. following the action.
