COMMISSIONERS’ PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL MEETING
FEBRUARY 28, 2023
Agenda: 5:00 PM – Vaccine and Back Door – Community Health
The Board of Stevens County Commissioners met in a special meeting with Tron Stegman and Pat Hall in person and Joe Thompson by phone. Amy Tharp, County Clerk was also present. Pat called the meeting to order.
Cammie Heaton was present.
Amy told the commissioners she contacted Curtis Crawford with Alert Alarm by phone and email, about the possibility of rescinding the motion made by Joe on Monday, February 27, 2023. The motion made on Monday was to have Alert Alarm install a vaccine alarm system and make necessary repairs and install the FOB system on the back door at the Community Health Department. Amy said Curtis told her he is out of town and would not be able to make it back in time for the meeting and said during the meeting time he would probably be in a bad area to receive any calls and if the commissioners have a question they can contact his wife, Toni Crawford.
Tron stated he found ways to fix the back door issue at a much more affordable cost and no monthly fees. He said he would like Ross to look at the door first and see what Ross can come up with so the health department employees can gain access to the building through the back door. Cammie said she has to upload information to the state on a monthly basis, about the vaccine refrigeration system and how often it is monitored and what the readings are. Cammie said she also stated she is having Nex-Tech look into an alarm for the vaccines as well as that is who the county had at one time but would like to gather more information and if there are other avenues which do not include monthly fees. She said she spoke with both Grant and Seward County and they currently using Alert Alarm.
Tron made a motion to rescind the original motion made on Monday, February 27th, 2023, by Joe accepting the Alert Alarm proposal for the vaccine alarm and repair to the back door at the Community Health Department. Pat seconded. Motion carried.
Amy gave the commissioners an update she received from Mandiant (3rd party computer IT) who has been going over the county’s most recent hack occurring the beginning of February. At this time, Mandiant believes it was just email phishing and she has turned in information to Mandiant and the Attorney for KCamp to review before they give their final standing.
By motion, the Board adjourned.
Attest: Amy Jo Tharp, County Clerk
