Votes at a glance: county approves three purchases and payment of late fines
Summary
Cheyenne County commissioners approved using general funds to cover late-filing fines, purchased a surplus sheriff's pickup and authorized a new tire machine for county shops; all motions passed by voice vote.
Cheyenne County commissioners voted during their meeting to pay a set of late-filing fines from the county general fund, purchase a 2019 pickup from the sheriff's department for $2,300 and buy a new tire machine for county shops for $2,099.
The treasurer reported $423.63 in late fees owed to state and CAPERS reporting (federal fines were not yet known). A motion was made and seconded to pay $423.63 from the general fund; commissioners approved the motion by voice vote.
Commissioners also moved and seconded to purchase a 2019 pickup being sold by the sheriff's department for $2,300. The board approved the purchase by voice vote and directed staff to obtain local shop estimates for potential repairs (the vehicle has about 98,000 miles and the county discussed possible cam-phaser or turbo issues; an inspection estimate was requested before further work is performed).
Separately, the board voted to purchase a Weaver-brand tire machine (part number W-894XF) for $2,099 to replace an older, undersized unit in one of the county shops. That motion passed by voice vote.
The meeting record shows the motions were moved and seconded and carried by voice vote; no roll-call tallies with individual yes/no votes were recorded in the transcript.
