The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted at its May 7 regular meeting to approve more than $700,000 in technology-related equipment for its public safety departments.

The approved list includes 204 Panasonic Tough Book laptops with docks along with an upgrade to the police records computer equipment. Also being purchased are 13 OptiPlex desktops as well as 35 Apple tablets with tough covers and expanded storage to be used with inspections software.

The commissioners also approved a new contract for janitorial services in the two main courthouse buildings on the square in McDonough, at $29,045 per month or $348,548 for one year with two possible extensions.

County staff said there have been complaints about current janitorial services in court buildings and the new provider will be able to start June 1.
