Jefferson County commissioners on Oct. 2 approved a series of routine items and one small contract during their regular meeting.

Actions taken by voice vote included approval of the Sept. 18 meeting minutes, approval of accounts payable vouchers as submitted, approval of the payroll docket as submitted, approval of a contract with Central Square for an RFID interface and related project management services, and a vote to close the courthouse and county offices from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Dec. 5 for the county employees’ Christmas event. All actions carried on aye voice votes.

The Central Square contract covers integration between the county’s incident/CAD reporting database and an RFID system purchased earlier to track inmate movements and cell checks. County staff said the county has funds available and will move money into transition accounts and create a budget line in the next cycle. The contract amount stated during the meeting was $4,377.31 for the JLPS Pro Guardian RFID interface and project-management services; staff also indicated a higher recurring cost in the next fiscal year related to software subscription and startup conversion work.

The motion to close county offices on Dec. 5 was presented as an annual customary closure tied to the county employee Christmas event; commissioners said employees raise funds and vendors sometimes donate for the event.

Motions were made and seconded from the dais; each item passed on voice vote with commissioners indicating “aye.” No roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.
