Summary

After a Security Committee review, Kingsbury County rejected bids from CommTech and OnSight Security Systems and directed that the courthouse security project be engineered to ensure staff get required equipment and maintain courthouse integrity.

A Security Committee composed of Register of Deeds Caryn Hojer, Emergency Manager Kristen Longville and Clerk of Courts Jennifer Malone recommended rejecting both bids for the courthouse security project from CommTech and OnSight Security Systems, saying the project should be engineered to ensure the county obtains the equipment it needs and preserves courthouse integrity.

The Board voted to reject both bids and authorized engineering for the project. The motion passed with all present voting aye. The committee’s recommendation and the Board’s vote indicate the county will prepare engineered specifications before re-bidding to clarify equipment needs and scope.
