County management services and highway committee updates on Sept. 4 covered vehicle purchases and a winter snow‑plow agreement.
Staff reported that two pickup trucks were ordered: a 2025 pickup at $57,673 and an additional vehicle listed near $57,759 in committee discussion. Staff also said the county will acquire a larger Ohio pickup priced at $70,900 (discussion referenced adding a front plow to complete that purchase). Committee members noted that fleet purchases dovetail with winter preparation and that the county maintains a replacement budget for courthouse and road equipment.
On winter maintenance, staff discussed a snow‑plow agreement with a township road commissioner covering 155.55 miles at $330 per mile, for a total contract amount of $51,331.50. The contract covers routine morning plowing assistance on township roads and will proceed as discussed.
Committee members said snow‑plow operations and vehicle readiness will be monitored, and that some timing and staffing issues from past winters are being addressed to improve response.
