Board approves five‑year lease for LiveScan fingerprint system, roughly $48,000 total

Seward County Board of Commissioners · May 19, 2026

Summary

Seward County commissioners approved a five‑year leasing option to replace end‑of‑life LiveScan fingerprint equipment, with an estimated total cost of about $48,000 spread over five years; staff noted the current system is over 10 years old and the county must coordinate with State Patrol.

Seward County approved a five‑year lease for new LiveScan fingerprint equipment at an estimated cost of about $48,000 to be paid over five years. Staff told the board the current fingerprint hardware is more than a decade old (originally provided under a 2016 grant) and that leasing spreads replacement costs across multiple budget years.

During the presentation staff recommended leasing rather than a one‑time purchase. Commissioner Daryl, who moved to accept the leasing option, said he did not want the county to return to legacy manual fingerprint methods. The Chair confirmed the present year’s payment had been covered and that the county could place the subsequent payment into the next fiscal year if needed.

Motion and vote: Commissioner Daryl moved to accept the LiveScan service leasing option; the motion was seconded and carried on recorded votes from commissioners present. Staff will process the lease extension and coordinate with State Patrol on implementation.
