PROCUREMENT REQUISITIONS  
6.A.  
Recommendation for the approval of a contract purchase order to Sentinel Offender  
Services, LLC, to provide alcohol monitoring services to adult offenders, for the period  
of April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2026, for a total contract amount not to exceed $1.00;  
contract pursuant to the Master Agreement #: 22PSX0021– National Association of State  
Procurement Officers (NASPO) ValuePoint. (Probation and Court Services)  
Vice Chair Eckhoff asked if the $1.00 stated on the Agenda was because the offenders  
pay for these services themselves. Jason Blumenthal confirmed that this is correct.  
Additional questions were brought forth by Members DeSart, Yoo, Ozog, Zay and  
Chaplin regarding the ankle bracelets currently in use as opposed to the alternate  
proposed method which uses a wrist band. Robert McEllin, Director of Probation and  
Court Services responded to each question and offered explanations. The motion was  
approved on a voice vote, all "ayes".

amount of $5,100 needed because the original grant budget included greater than $5,000
