Board reviews fleet, stair replacement and security upgrades in budget talks
Summary
Supervisors considered deferring Sheriff's Office vehicle replacements, questioned a $100,000 stair-replacement estimate at Charterhouse, and reviewed proposed video surveillance and security updates to county properties as part of FY2027 budget planning.
During the March 17 work session, Supervisor David Ferguson suggested deferring some Sheriff's Office vehicle replacements for an additional year or using asset-forfeiture funds to cover costs; other supervisors noted several department vehicles are at end-of-life mileage. County Administrator Evan Vass said the vehicle-replacement plan replaces a percentage of the fleet each year and warned that deferral could raise maintenance costs.
The Board also discussed a recommended stair replacement at Charterhouse; Supervisor Ferguson said he did not believe it should cost $100,000. Mr. Vass reviewed a proposal for video surveillance and security upgrades for county properties and outlined carryforward reappropriations related to school projects. No final appropriation decisions were recorded in the minutes; board members asked staff to look for further savings and provide updated figures as budget materials are refined.
