The court also approved renewal of employee-paid voluntary dental and vision insurance benefits with MetLife, a contract for a Motorola in-vehicle camera system for a new sheriff's patrol vehicle, and the purchase of a video camera surveillance system for a precinct radio tower. Additionally, the court authorized budget fund establishment for new sheriff's office grants and approved acceptance of additional opioid litigation settlements. A policy was adopted requiring IT to consult with department liaisons before changing network access for employees or contractors. Several subdivision plat approvals and extensions were also considered. Motions were passed unanimously on these procurement and budget items, reflecting ongoing county operations and infrastructure improvements.
