Committee transfers $236,165 insurance recovery to buy 2025 Peterbilt for Public Works
Summary
Ways and Means approved transferring $236,165 from insurance recovery accounts to the Road Machinery Fund to purchase a 2025 Peterbilt truck; the committee also accepted $2,149.91 insurance reimbursement for a Sheriff's Office vehicle deductible.
The Allegany County Ways and Means Committee on May 21 approved transferring insurance-recovery funds to the Road Machinery Fund to purchase a replacement Public Works vehicle and accepted a smaller insurance reimbursement for a sheriff's vehicle deductible.
Clerk of the Board staff presented acceptance of a check for $2,149.91 from Nymir representing a $500 deductible related to a February 28 collision that damaged a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe assigned to the Sheriff's Office. The committee voted to appropriate that amount to the accounts listed on the MOE.
Separately, the committee approved transferring $236,165 from the county's insurance recovery account to Public Works. The county previously accepted and appropriated insurance proceeds for a totaled 2020 Kenworth 10-wheel dump truck. Public Works received approval to purchase a 2025 Peterbilt 567 truck for $236,165 and the budget modification and transfer to the Road Machinery Fund were approved.
Why it matters: these actions move insurance recovery dollars back into equipment replacement for county roads and public works operations and replenish the Road Machinery Fund for the specified purchase.
Details and approvals: meeting minutes show the transfer was proposed by Clerk of the Board staff and moved for approval; the committee approved both the $2,149.91 appropriation and the $236,165 transfer by voice vote. The motions were recorded as carried.
