Summary
Officials discussed using an insurance reimbursement and county funds to replace a 2021 Ford Explorer that burned, and asked commissioners to place a budget-amendment request on the agenda; the item was placed on the agenda with no objection.
Houston County commissioners were asked to place on their agenda a budget amendment to replace a 2021 Ford Explorer that burned beside the road and to accept an insurance reimbursement toward the purchase.
Major Afton of the Houston County Sheriff’s Office introduced the item and asked staff to explain the financing. Verna (title not specified) told commissioners the county received an insurance reimbursement that the meeting transcript reads as 31,389.08 (the transcript phrase was “310,38908”) and that the county would absorb a $5,000 deductible. Verna said the sheriff’s office expects to pay additional costs for equipment.
The sheriff’s office described the expected outlays as: an estimated purchase price for the replacement vehicle read in the record as 4,300,904 and an estimated equipment cost read as 1,500,22852. The sheriff’s office representative said the office would pay the equipment cost and requested that the commission accept the insurance check and fund the difference between the reimbursement and the replacement cost.
Commission member David (full title not specified) confirmed the figures as presented. The chair asked if there were objections to placing the item on the agenda; there were none.
The discussion at the meeting was limited to the financing request and placement on the agenda; no formal purchase vote was recorded in the transcript provided.
