A department representative reported fuel usage and average prices: in May the average price was $3.21 with 119.6 gallons used, and in June the average price was $3.20 with 145 gallons used. The speaker said using the county highway department pumps could provide savings.
Commissioners explained the highway pumps are metered (not like public digital pumps) and instructed the department to stop at the highway office and tell Debbie how many gallons were taken; Debbie will track totals and the department will be billed monthly. A commissioner suggested department staff visit the highway garage with James to complete required paperwork and training.
No formal policy action was recorded; commissioners directed staff to coordinate with the highway department for pump access and monthly billing.
