The Board of County Commissioners of Douglas County, Kansas met in Special Session on Tuesday, July 11, 2006 to discuss the 2007 Budget. Johnson called the Special Meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. with all members present.
REGULAR AGENDA 07-11-06
The Board discussed the FFY06 Homeland Security Grant Funds, an agenda item deferred from the July 10, 2006 meeting. Paula Phillips, Director of Emergency Management, and Mike Russell, Emergency Management Board Representative, attended the meeting and presented the Board with additional information regarding the location and storage of the Light Search and Rescue equipment, as requested by Jones at the July 10, 2006 meeting. Jones also questioned the need for the additional metal detector for the jail if there are standby units available at the Law Enforcement Center. Ken McGovern, Sheriff,
explained the need for the new unit to be more up-to-date; additionally, the units at the Law Enforcement Center are either in use or are used as backup. The standby unit available is a 1999 model and would not provide any greater security than what is presently being used.
Commissioner Johnson moved to accept the recommendation of the Emergency Management Executive Committee for expenditure of the FFY06 Homeland Security Grant Funds and directed the Emergency Management Director to submit the expenditure proposal to the State of Kansas. The grant application includes the following breakdown of expenditures: SHSGP $61,020; LETPP $44,385. Motion was seconded by Jones and carried unanimously.
Jones recommended Ken McGovern meet with Pam Madl, Assistant County Administrator, to discuss plans to secure all entrances to the Law Enforcement Center.
BUDGET 07-11-06
The Board conducted a work session on the 2007 Budget. No action was taken.
