Commissioner describes security concerns at Ag Extension Office; quote from alarm firm under consideration

Commissioner Art described safety and security concerns at the Cooke County Ag Extension Office and asked the court to consider installing an access-control panel and approving a quote from 4 Feathers Alarm LLC.

According to Commissioner Art, the office occupies a portion of an older jail building used by extension staff; employees have experienced people walking into the office and on at least some occasions those visitors have been aggressive. "They're just asking for some if we could put a door to where they can control that door," Commissioner Art said, noting staff need a way to restrict access and protect employees.

The item on the agenda requested approval of a quote from 4 Feathers Alarm LLC to install the access-control system. The segment of the transcript provided ends during the presentation; no motion, second or vote on that quote is recorded in the available excerpt.
