was originally when criminals were moving money and it was gave you the ability to track cards all right they've since branched out so you essentially do both and and with this we're up to right there we can seize $10,000 per year without any other fees so again it's both but it started as a system to instantly track out on roadside these prepaid cards and learn the source of and then freeze those funds immediately. But as I said, they've branched out into a lot more with cell phones.

Anybody else? Commissioner Kelly.

I looked up that company, and it said it was for inmates. It was a band of inmates that you could track them while they're in the jail. That's a different one? OK. I'm sorry. So you're asking for this one, then you're asking for another one.

What we'd like to do now, we have another contracted service that did not get into the finance packet, which we would like to go ahead and do tonight.

Suspend the rules and then we'll need a motion in a second to pass the resolution if that's okay Most the most suspended rows by Commissioner Riddle second by Commissioner Wiseman Any further discussion questions on favor say aye motion suspended now the resolution is approving a contract to service agreement between Franklin County and the sheriff and Guardian RFID I Motion to approve by Commissioner Anderson, second by Commissioner McMillan. Any further discussion or questions? I'm asking for this first, yeah. It is a contract between the Sheriff's Office and the Guardian RFID, which I think is going to be the inmate part of this we were referencing. CEOs. That's my understanding, yeah.

Now it's handed. We have to manually make this a scanner so they can send their checkpoints. They have to go through the inmate counts twice a day. They have to do head counts every night. They have to do... cell checks every night. This is a scanner in the system where they can scan that without having to sit down and write this out, document it. So in about every other jail inspection, we get rolled up for not doing this at Andrea, what's the number? I don't have it. It's 18-19.

Yeah, there's a startup of 19,000. It's a liability deterrent, you know, proving that the CEOs are checking, putting their eyes on them, and not just writing it down in paper. So it's alleviating the liability.

So it's policing your sales.

Questions have been called for. We have a motion and a second on the table. Madam Clerk, call the roll, please. Motion carries. That moves us to number 20, elections and appointments.
