Staff described a motor grader with roughly 24,438 hours and said the engine had been rebuilt about two and a half years earlier. A staff reader provided cost details and maintenance history, and an unnamed participant moved to repair the motor grader’s transmission.
Why it matters: motor graders are essential for grading county roads; transmission repairs can be costly but may extend useful life. Staff estimated the repair could extend the grader’s service by another 10 to 20 years.
Discussion: staff said the machine had about 24,438 hours, the engine was rebuilt about two and a half years ago, and that repairing the transmission would extend the vehicle’s life. One speaker said "We can get another 10 to 20 years out of" the grader after repair. The transcript includes a motion: "I have a motion that we we repair the, motor grader." The mover and a roll‑call vote were not recorded in the transcript excerpt; one participant later said, "Yeah. Yeah. I'm good for that," indicating support.
Action recorded: motion to repair the motor grader transmission; transcript does not record a formal vote tally or an outcome beyond verbal support.
Next steps: procurement or equipment maintenance staff are expected to issue a purchase order for the transmission repair and circulate check runs for review, per staff comments in the meeting.
