Treasurer authorized to buy five laptops; tax-sale update given
Summary
County Treasurer Christine Swaim received approval to spend up to $9,225 on five laptops and docks split across three funds; she also reported five properties remain on the October tax-sale list.
Clay County Treasurer Christine Swaim presented competing quotes for five Dell laptops and docks and asked the board to permit a purchase split evenly across the tech fund, motor-vehicle and general-equipment reserve. Commissioner Carlson moved to grant approval of up to $9,225 for five laptops and docks from Central Office and Supply, Commissioner Mayo seconded the motion, and it passed unanimously.
Swaim provided the following vendor quotes in the meeting record: Networks Plus — $8,125 for five Dell Pro 16 laptops (no touch screen) plus 5 docks; Central Office — options ranging from $6,200 to $6,995 plus docks and additional $1,150–$1,500 for docking hardware. She told the board not all machines would need touch screens. Swaim also summarized year-to-date interest income and reported that five properties remain on the county's tax-sale list, with an auction to be scheduled in October.
The board approved the purchase authorization and asked staff to proceed with procurement and fund splits as described by the treasurer.
