The Alfalfa County commissioners met briefly Monday morning to discuss security system updates to the Alfalfa County Courthouse, a legal matter and several routine items. Board members present at the meeting were Tobey Walker, Stan Tucker and Jay Hague.

The meeting began with Nancy Lambert giving the invocation and leading the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. Thereafter, the board entered into executive session to discuss a legal matter with their attorney. When the board reconvened, the subject matter and contents of the discussion were not disclosed, although it did vote to appoint Walker as representative if it goes to trial.

Next, several routine items were approved, including the minutes from the previous meeting, several M & O warrants for payment, blanket purchase orders, and one road crossing permit for District 3 in the amount of $2,250. Further on the agenda, the board agreed to lease 0.21235 acres to Midstate Petroleum Company, LLC.

The final item discussed was for additional server storage to be added at the Alfalfa County Courthouse and a reconfiguration of its security system. Only one bid was received, from Digi Security Systems of Tulsa, who bid a total price of $42,502.48. The cost quoted will cover the new server, three new multi-head cameras for the jail (plus all wiring and cables), an enclosure to house the IT equipment, multiple microphones, the reconfiguration of the courthouse's existing 35 camera systems, technical assistance and, of course, installation of all of the above. The company also provides training for whoever will use the equipment. The company guarantees that the project will be completed within 60 days and the project comes with a three year warranty and the company's remote support if required. The board voted to table this agenda item until it can be discussed with the sheriff at a later meeting.
