Commissioners discuss diesel procurement and co-op pricing; staff to check costs
Summary
A commissioner asked whether the county bids diesel fuel annually and noted regional co-op prices appear lower this year; staff said the county has not locked into fixed pricing and agreed to check current costs.
During general business on Jan. 22, a commissioner raised whether Franklin County bids diesel fuel annually and asked who supplies the county’s fuel. The commissioner noted news reports that co-op diesel prices had fallen from about $2.74 per gallon last year to about $2.51 this year.
A county staff member replied that the county has not locked in a fixed price in the past and said some counties have used fixed-price agreements with mixed results. The staff member said they did not recall the county’s current supplier off the top of their head and offered to check and report back.
There was no formal motion or vote recorded on fuel procurement. The discussion concluded with staff agreeing to review the county’s fuel arrangements and pricing and return with details.
