Coroner seeks equipment transfer and toxicology contract; commissioners approve both
Summary
Hamilton County coroner requested transfer of a two‑bay cooler to the sheriff's office for secure evidence storage and sought approval for a toxicology services contract with Access Forensic Toxicology; both items were approved by the board.
Chair introduced the Hamilton County coroner, Jeff Jellison, who presented two items: transfer of a two‑bay cooler to the sheriff's department and a contract for toxicology services.
On the cooler transfer, the coroner explained the sheriff "can utilize it for, like, cold storage, for evidence items" and said it is in a secure area; commissioners approved the transfer on motion. The coroner then requested approval of a contract with Access Forensic Toxicology for toxicology services and moved to approve; commissioners voted 'Aye' and the contract was approved.
The transcript shows the coroner answered commissioners' questions about the cooler's intended use and confirmed the toxicology contract was presented for routine procurement. No contract dollar amount for toxicology services was given in the public portion of the meeting.
