Public works reports mower savings, equipment maintenance and possible surplus
Summary
County public-works staff reported shop repairs, plow and wing work, and a recently purchased mower that 'came out at savings of 8,464'; discussion included surplusing an old plow and coordinating resale in spring.
Public works staff reported ongoing shop work, vehicle maintenance and equipment repairs and suggested surplusing older items during spring disposals.
Speaker 3 summarized recent activity in the county shop, saying the crew "did a lot of blades and put the windows on the right side" and listed tire changes, plow and wing installations and mitigation-related FEMA work. On a recently purchased mower, Speaker 3 said, "I figured it'd save us 7,200... It came out at savings of 8,464," but the transcript does not specify whether those figures are dollars or another unit; the record does not supply supporting calculations.
Speaker 1 asked about surplus procedures for an older plow; Speaker 3 recommended holding surplus until spring and noted the item "ain't worth" opening for bids. The speakers agreed to coordinate resale or transfer options with a contact named Chisholm.
The meeting also recorded fuel-price reference points discussed earlier in the meeting (examples in the record: Speaker 1: "$2.80" and "Ethanol is $2.60"; Speaker 3: "Number 2 is 2 69"), and a question about whether fuel logs were available at the meeting table. No formal motions or votes related to equipment or fuel were recorded in the transcript.
Next steps: staff indicated plans to prepare surplus items for spring and to continue coordinating with county contacts about resale or transfer.
