Board approves $634,035.45 in county claims, including ARPA-funded IT work and body‑camera payments

The Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors voted March 3 to approve a claims and payments resolution totaling $634,035.45.

County finance staff reported the largest items included a $212,311.56 payment for a Pinecrest HVAC upgrade, approximately $212,896.92 for Axon body‑camera hardware and camera systems, an ARPA‑funded IT server‑room invoice for $10,001.02 and $56,544.62 for furniture at Pinecrest from Office Concepts. A smaller jail HVAC payment of $17,081 was also listed.

“The total bill payment today is $634,035.45,” finance staff said while listing the ARPA allocations and vendor invoices. Board members asked clarifying questions about the Axon contract payment schedule and how the multi‑year payments would be treated in future budgets; staff explained the first five years would be covered by replacement revenue and years six through ten would come from operating funds.

The board moved and carried a resolution directing the county auditor to issue payments against the approved claims.
