(Red Oak, Iowa) – The Montgomery County Board of Supervisors, today (Tuesday), approved requests for ARPA Fund projects from the Sheriff’s, EMA and Auditor’s Departments. The Board approved $28,000 for the purchase of Tasers for the Law Enforcement Center. Sheriff Jon Spunaugle explained his department’s current supply of stun guns are aging-out, and at least a couple have stopped working, even though they were never used and sat on a shelf.

The $28,000 will include an additional 18 extra cartridges to keep the devices charged and ready to use.

The Supervisors also approved a request for Motorola radio reprogramming, from Montgomery County Emergency Management Director Brian Hamman, in the amount of $25,000.

The request does not involve the purchase of any new hardware. And, the Board approved Unisyn Voterscanners for Auditor/Elections Commissioner Jill Ozuna, in the amount of $54,347.

In other business, the Board approved the renewal of Delta Dental Insurance, the rate for which hasn’t changed from last year. And, they approved moving their April 18th Board Meeting from 8:30-a.m. to 5:30-p.m., on that date only, for the purpose of a public hearing.
