Custer County officials reported a busy day with two deaths occurring on the same day, but noted that May has been relatively quiet since then. During the recent Board of County Commissioners meeting, discussions also highlighted the installation of a new cooling system for the sheriff's office, which will be powered by a generator and is Bluetooth compatible. This innovative system allows for remote operation via a smartphone, ensuring that it only runs when necessary, thus conserving energy.

The cooling system will also provide power to additional areas, including a dive container and a garage that currently lacks electricity. The project aims to enhance operational efficiency and ensure that essential services remain functional during power outages.

As the meeting progressed, officials expressed optimism about the new system's capabilities and its potential to improve emergency response efforts. The discussions concluded with a call for any further comments from staff, indicating a collaborative approach to addressing county needs.
