Summary
Coos County moved $350,000 from contingency to capital contracted services for storm cleanup and approved a three‑year Samsara fleet tracking license for vehicles and cameras; the board also approved payment of a $11,031.85 repair invoice for a 2016 Kenworth.
Coos County commissioners approved several Road Department items: a $350,000 transfer from operating contingency to capital contracted services for storm cleanup work, a three‑year license agreement with Samsara fleet tracking, and payment of a truck repair invoice totaling $11,031.85.
Road Department staff described the transfer as necessary because March storms caused significant damage that required three contractors and additional capital projects such as installing a rail car bridge on Fat Elk Road. "This first item was just transferring $350,000 from our bridal miscellaneous operating contingency line item to Capital Contracted Services," the presenter said.
The board approved a three‑year Samsara license for 41 vehicle gateways, 21 pieces of equipment and 11 forward‑facing dash cameras. Staff said year‑one cost would be $17,576.10 with slightly lower costs in years two and three; the system is used for diagnostics, driver‑behavior data and evidence via forward cameras.
Separately, after Samsara diagnostic alerts had identified an engine issue on a 2016 Kenworth, the county authorized paying Gold Coast Truck Repair $11,031.85 to replace an SCR (selective catalytic reduction) filter and related repairs. The board approved all items by voice vote.
