Sheriff Jim Heflin informed the Council of several procurement needs for the Sheriff's Office. He presented a single quote for a replacement generator at $110,000 (labor not included), outlined a proposed RFID equipment purchase for $7,779.44 with annual maintenance of $6,995, and described needed shooting-range improvements with a $5,365 shed quote and a $9,000 quote from Connerstone to widen the range.

The figures give Council members specific cost estimates to consider in future budget or supplemental-appropriation decisions for public-safety equipment and facilities.
