Resolution to Amend 2024 Budget for Allocation of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds for Patrol/Rescue Boat, Prisoner Transport Van and Fingerprint Machine

BACKGROUND: The Sheriff’s Office would like to replace the patrol/rescue boat, a prisoner transport van and the fingerprint machine at the courthouse.  The patrol/rescue boat has been in service for 7 years.  After examination of the bids your Committee recommends it to be in the best interest of Sauk County to accept the bid of Zacho Sports Center Inc of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin for a 2025 Lund boat, 2025 ShoreLand’r trailer and a 115 EXLPT Mercury motor with the after trade cost of the boat and trailer being $15,443. The prisoner transport van has high mileage. After examination of the bids your Committee recommends it to be in the best interest of Sauk County to accept the bid of Fedderly Chrysler Dodge Jeep Inc of Reedsburg, Wisconsin for a 2024 Chrysler Pacifica with the after trade cost of the van being $31,307.  The fingerprint machine is running on an old operating system and cannot be upgraded.  The cost of the fingerprint machine from a specialized unique vendor of HID Global Corporation is $17,663.  The 2024 Sheriff’s Budget did not include funding for these assets; and American Rescue Plan Act Funds (ARPA) are available for these assets.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Sauk County Board of Supervisors, met in regular session, does hereby approve an amendment to the 2024 Budget to allocate $64,413 for patrol/rescue boat, prisoner transport van and fingerprint machine funded by the ARPA grant.
