Board of Commissioners - Joint Finance/Audit/Budget and Internal Services Committees - Sep 16, 2026
Commissioners declined to fund new video surveillance ($924,385) and a chiller/boiler replacement ($2.4 million) at the Juvenile Justice Center. These security and building systems needs failed in committee and may return later.
