The Frio County Commissioners Court convened on October 29, 2024, to address several key agenda items, primarily focusing on law enforcement equipment upgrades.
The meeting began with a request from Honorable Pedro Salinas, Frio County Sheriff, to consider the approval of a surveillance package from Cruising Kitchens LLC. However, the details of this request were not fully discussed as the Sheriff acknowledged a procedural error and moved on to the next item.
The second significant item on the agenda involved another request from Sheriff Salinas regarding the approval of quote number 1442 from Alvarado Emergency Lighting. This proposal aimed to equip and upgrade patrol unit number 3238 with essential lighting and safety equipment. The total cost for this upgrade was noted at $9,587.27, which will be funded through grant money received under Senate Bill 22.
The discussions highlighted the county's ongoing efforts to enhance the safety and operational capabilities of its law enforcement fleet. The use of grant funds for these upgrades underscores the county's commitment to utilizing available resources effectively.
In conclusion, the meeting addressed critical enhancements to the Frio County Sheriff's Office equipment, reflecting a proactive approach to law enforcement safety and efficiency. Further actions regarding the surveillance package will need to be revisited in future meetings.
