County attorney outlines procurement‑card rollout; commission previews $15,907.76 Axon taser purchase
Summary
County attorney Curt Walker said procurement‑card policies and statements of economic interest will be required for cardholders, targeted to take effect October 1; commissioners were also briefed on an Axon contract to add tasers for $15,907.76.
Curt Walker, the county attorney, told commissioners the county is drafting policies and procedures for procurement (p‑card) implementation and associated amendments to the credit‑card and travel policies. He said the p‑card rollout will require each holder to execute a statement of economic interests and that the statute requires certain disclosures.
"It's October 1 is when the change takes effect," Walker said, describing the planned timeline for policy implementation. He said the draft will come to commissioners for review and that the county should consider designating a procurement officer to answer technical procurement questions, especially when federal funds are involved.
Separately, staff previewed a request to approve an Axon contract to add tasers at a cost of $15,907.76; the record includes the history of prior Axon and body camera contract amounts for context. Commissioners asked for the contract details to be placed on the Tuesday agenda for formal action and to review whether the purchase fits budget limits and authorization protocols.
