At a special public meeting labeled “Special public meeting, number 8,” commissioners voted to approve the purchase of a lowboy trailer for the county road department.

The motion to accept the trailer purchase was introduced by an unidentified speaker (Speaker 1) and moved by another unidentified speaker (Speaker 2). According to the record, the trailer is a used 2015 lowboy priced at $38,000 and the road department has the money in its budget to cover the purchase. Speaker 2 described the trailer as having a detachable neck, allowing it to haul dozers and blades, and said it is "whole lot safer" and "much needed for the guys." Speaker 2 added the trailer is self-contained and can hook to any truck even without a wet kit.

The motion was called and the transcript records "Motion passes." The meeting record does not include a roll-call vote or a numerical tally of yes/no votes.

The transcript includes no reference to any competing bids or alternative procurement options, and no statute, ordinance, or formal procurement authority was cited during the discussion. The purchase was described as budgeted by the road department.

The county did not identify the seller in the transcript. No implementation timeline or delivery date for the trailer was provided.
