Commissioners accept $25,000 from ViaPath for jail AEDs, approve elections training expenditures
Summary
The court approved two budget amendments: recognition of $25,000 from ViaPath for the detention center (to purchase 14 AEDs) and an elections-department amendment to cover upfront training costs (reimbursable under Chapter 19). The motions carried unanimously.
County staff presented two budget amendments for fiscal year 2026: for the sheriff's detention center, the county received $25,000 from ViaPath (a vendor that provides inmate communications) and asked to recognize and spend those funds on 14 automated external defibrillators (AEDs); for the elections department, staff sought authorization to pay upfront training costs that will be reimbursed through Chapter 19 funds.
Brandon summarized the detention-center item: "As part of the amendment, ViaPath paid the county $25,000... The sheriff office wishes to spend the 25,000 on 14 AEDs in the jail." Commissioners moved, seconded and voted to approve the budget amendments; the court recorded the motion passing (voice vote) with no opposition.
