Tolan thanked the Sheriff's Department for making his son's birthday extra special. His son was allowed to ride in a patrol car with Deputy Mike Ealey. Because of that experience, he is now interested in joining the Explorer Program.
5. Approval of Claims
Motion to approve June 2019 claims made by Tolan, seconded by Barker. It was asked if the claim for Alan Schrock should have paid out of the clock tower fund and not the Courthouse fund. It was stated that the all funds for the clock tower were utilized first and that fund has no balance. There was a claim for RA Oldeen for roof inspection. They were the original installers of the roof, so if they are coming to inspect their work, why are they charging us for it. There was a leak, they came to inspect, but the leak was coming from an air handler, not the roofing job, so they charged for the inspection. Motion passed.
6. Coroner
7. EŞDA
a. Tabletop Exercise Things are moving forward with the July 25th exercise. It was asked if the Civil Air Patrol was also taking part. Mr. McCanless will contact them to see if they are interested in participating. Mr. McCanless also spent 3 days last week in Southern Illinois helping with the flooding. He had six (6) counties under him and also dealt with logistics. The committee thanked him for helping with this.
8. Sheriff
a. Approve bid for purchase of StarCom21 Dispatch Radios, Sheriff Smith provided the committee with the proposed bids. This is for the dispatch equipment that allows dispatch to communicate with the cars. The difference in the prices are that the top company bid more of a consolette. They currently have one consolette, but they have issues with it. The other bids bid more of a mobile radio that interfaces with the cars and is better equipment. Also, the higher bid is up north and had to factor in travel time. Motion to approve the bid from Ragan Communications for $48,301.04 made by Tolan, seconded by Barker. Motion passed.
