Commission approves multiple sheriff requests including jail HVAC work and inmate monitoring purchase
Summary
The commission approved several sheriff requests: reimburse $1,242 to inmate welfare for QuickBooks, engage CMA Architects for potential jail addition planning, inspect a vacant Asheville building for $2,250, perform a jail HVAC test-and-balance for $11,300, repair a damaged gate for $9,873, and use opioid funds to buy inmate monitoring equipment ($18,050 for five years).
Staff member (Speaker 4) presented a series of requests from the sheriff. The commission approved reimbursement of $1,242 to inmate welfare for a QuickBooks subscription renewal and approved engaging CMA Architects to provide plans and cost estimates for a potential jail addition. The commission also approved hiring a firm to inspect a vacant bank building in Asheville for $2,250 and accepted a proposal from Fairfield LLC to test-and-balance the jail HVAC system for $11,300 (budget amendment required).
On inmate monitoring, Speaker 4 proposed using opioid settlement funds to purchase inmate medical monitoring systems and bands from Reassurance Solutions at a cost of $18,050 for five years; Speaker 4 said the attorney and auditor would review the proposed expenditure. The commission also approved a quote of $9,873 to repair a damaged gate at the jail and an estimated $1,000 for electrical work to support the Reassurance Solutions equipment installation; the latter will be a general-fund budget amendment. Commissioners approved the items after motions and seconds were recorded.
