Jackson County commissioners on July 14 approved the purchase of additional garbage containers for the county's solid-waste department under a quoted price of $28,480 from Auto Environmental Systems North American Inc.

County staff said the purchase follows earlier discussion and that the quote is included in the meeting packet. The commission approved the purchase by a voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.

No discussion of financing sources or delivery dates was recorded during the meeting.

The purchase was treated as a routine equipment procurement in the meeting's new-business agenda.
