Commissioners approve routine contracts, MOU updates and a sheriff equipment purchase
Summary
At the March 10 meeting the board approved a Conservation Club contract for Election Day, finalized an updated MOU with Deaconess after attorney edits, authorized courthouse lock‑box purchases for officers, and approved payroll and claims dockets.
The commissioners approved a series of routine administration items on March 10, including a facility contract with the Conservation Club for Election Day and final approval of an updated memorandum of understanding with Deaconess after language changes recommended by the county attorney.
Sheriff Gary Allison asked the board to approve purchasing lock boxes — roughly $500 each — for officers to secure firearms when entering the courthouse, with one lock box proposed for each floor. "The lock boxes are for officers to lock their guns up when they enter the courthouse," Allison said. The board approved the purchase. Commissioners also approved the payroll docket dated Feb. 20, 2026 and multiple claims dockets by unanimous motion. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that carried unanimously.
No expenditures beyond the lock‑box estimate were specified in the minutes; county staff will process contracts and dockets per normal administrative procedures.
