Board sets $5,000 procurement threshold and narrows RFQ for camera servers to Digital Watchdog partners

Sep 7, 2026

Supervisors agreed to add a $5,000 threshold to a draft procurement policy for departments under board oversight and discussed an RFQ for camera servers limited to Digital Watchdog channel partners within a 60-mile support radius for security and support reasons.

The full story

Board members discussed a draft procurement policy and whether to require bidding for expenditures above a set dollar threshold. The chair noted a prior state-auditor finding referencing a $6,000 figure; after discussion the board agreed to include a $5,000 minimum threshold in the county policy for departments that report to the supervisors (independent elected offices are not covered by the board policy).
