Commission considers raising inventory threshold; discussion centers on sensitive items
Summary
Commissioners debated amending Policy 16 to raise the county's inventory threshold (historically $2.50) to better match modern equipment prices, with suggestions ranging from $500 to $7.50 and an agreement to inventory sensitive items regardless of dollar amount.
Commissioner S1 opened discussion by saying the county's inventory threshold set at $2.50 is outdated and needs to be raised because equipment costs have risen. The commission considered starting at $500 or moving in interim steps.
"I've tried to lean towards $7.50, and I'm talking to Glenn and John and Michelle Williams," S8 said when asked about an appropriate threshold; other commissioners argued for a $500 floor and for a separate list of sensitive items (ballistic vests, tasers, devices that store county data) that should be inventoried regardless of price.
Participants agreed to place the proposed amendment on the Tuesday agenda and to include language allowing departments to flag "sensitive items" that must be inventoried even if their purchase price falls below the threshold. Commissioners emphasized they will monitor the list and adjust the threshold later if needed.
