Summary

The court approved buying a John Deere 5,100E cab tractor for Precinct 1; commissioners discussed contract-sourceboard procurement and financing and recorded the motion and unanimous approval.

Callahan County Commissioners Court on July 14 approved the purchase of a John Deere 5,100E cab tractor for Precinct 1 after the precinct commissioner explained the current tractor has been in the shop since April.

The precinct commissioner said the tractor under consideration appeared to be a good deal and indicated willingness to pay cash from precinct funds. Committee members asked whether the purchase used a cooperative buy-board contract (Sourcewell/Bid Board) because the price exceeded $50,000; staff confirmed Sourcewell was cited on the quote. Commissioner McGowan moved to approve the purchase; Commissioner Windham seconded and the court voted aye with no opposition.

Ending: The procurement will proceed under the approved terms; staff will confirm vendor and funding source (cash from precinct budget) and complete the purchase paperwork.
