COURTHOUSE SECURITY SYSTEM, Sheriff to imPlement system Sheriff Don Rudnick reported that the security entrance system for the Courthouse is close to being operative, and the Simplex Company is anxious to be paid. He stated that the list of requests for entrance cards has been reduced to about 90 but there is still concern about running short of cards. Each additional 100 cards would cost $400.00, and Sheriff Rudnick stated that he does not have this money in his budget. Mr. Shannon asked what the Sheriff's question is today, and Mr. Rudnick stated that he was only put in charge of getting the system operating and the training. A training session will be held this Friday. Mr. Shannon stated that he does not feel the Commission should become involved in day-to-day expenditures of each department and suggested that the Sheriff talk with the County Accountant about this expenditure. Mr. Wieland stated that he would not have a problem with authorizing an expenditure for additional cards. The Auditor and Accountant will check on availability of funds. It was the consensus of the Commission that the Sheriff begin dispensing the cards for the new security system, instruct the people how to use them, and get the system in operation in order to determine how well it works.
