Commissioners require three quotes for sheriff's $16,887 AC unit; motion passes 2–1
Summary
Sheriff Larry "Ray" Newton requested purchase of a replacement mini-split for the upstairs IT room; a Havel Brothers quote for $16,887 was presented. Commissioners voted 2–1 to require three quotes before purchase.
Sheriff Larry "Ray" Newton sought approval to replace an upstairs IT-room mini-split air conditioner that had failed; he said the prior unit was believed to be 15 years old. The board reviewed a Havel Brothers quote for $16,887. Commissioner Chad Aker asked that three quotes be obtained because county policy requires competitive pricing; Sheriff Newton said the existing service agreement with Havel Brothers would cover work on equipment purchased from that vendor.
Commissioner Aker moved to request three quotes before making a purchase decision; Duane Monroe seconded. The motion passed by a 2–1 vote, with Monroe and Aker voting in favor and Commissioner Doug Horn opposing. The minutes record that the motion carried by majority vote. No subsequent purchase authorization was recorded.
