Committee approves renewal of Navy loan for thermal imaging and night-vision equipment
Summary
The committee authorized a renewal of the Department of the Navy loan/lease for thermal imaging and night-vision equipment used by the sheriff's special operations team; members questioned usage frequency before approving the annual lease.
Sheriff Eric said the county has used thermal imaging and night-vision equipment on loan from the Department of the Navy for nine years and asked the committee to authorize a legally binding annual contract to formalize the loan. He said the county renews the loan yearly and described the need to have a contract in place for equipment that has been in operational use by the sheriff's special operations team.
Committee members asked how often the equipment is used; the sheriff responded, "I would say 1 point on average." The committee moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote. No roll-call or further usage metrics were provided in the available segments.
