Commissioner Nelson said that he got a phone call from someone who was concerned about equipment not being provided and the sense that there was a commitment made to do this. He thinks that the County should fund the needed equipment. Pam Jones said that when the Board approved this, it authorized Jerry Passmore to look for grant funding for additional items.
