Board accepts $66,676.65 GEMA grant for election security equipment
Summary
The board authorized acceptance of a $66,676.65 Homeland Security (GEMA) grant for elections security, with roughly $40,000 earmarked for security and about $20,000 for poll-worker panic buttons, and authorized the chairman to execute the award documents.
County consultant Mister Dodd (S8) told commissioners the Board of Elections received approval for a Homeland Security grant through GEMA totaling $66,676.65. He said the plan was to spend roughly $40,000 for security purchases and about $20,000 for panic-button devices for poll workers; he asked the board to authorize the chairman to sign the agreement with GEMA.
Commissioners moved and approved acceptance of the grant and signature authorization. Dodd emphasized the award requires no county match and that the grant will fund security and election-worker protection purchases once procurement procedures and GEMA approvals are complete.
The board directed staff to complete required paperwork and return with any procurement updates necessary for equipment purchase.
