Sheriff’s Office staff presented department business and the board approved two actions related to law enforcement equipment on March 17. The board unanimously approved purchase of 10 duty rifles and suppressors at a total price of $16,760 and accepted the department’s reviewed body‑camera audit.
The actions were moved and seconded with all five commissioners recorded as voting yes. The minutes list Scott Adams, Deputy Briar Bonin, and Vincent Do as participating for the Sheriff’s Office; no public comment or additional conditions were recorded.
