Carroll County approves playground mulch and courthouse elevator repairs; OKs small surplus donation
Summary
Fiscal Court approved $9,000 for certified playground mulch at Canyon Park and a $31,200 elevator maintenance contract; members also agreed to donate a surplus soft box to a neighboring jurisdiction.
Carroll County Fiscal Court approved several small capital and maintenance items during its meeting. The court voted to authorize a $9,000 purchase of certified playground mulch for two play areas at Canyon Park. Speaker 1 described the material as certified playground material; Speaker 2 made the motion, seconded by Clay, and the court approved the expenditure by voice vote.
The court also reviewed and approved a courthouse elevator maintenance and upgrade contract. Nick (county staff) reviewed the contract and explained that the pump was failing; the work and upgrades were estimated at $31,200. Officials said the vendor has performed past maintenance work for the courthouse and recommended proceeding; Speaker 4 moved to approve and the court voted to schedule the work.
Separately, the court discussed donating a surplus soft box (a truck box) to a municipal partner because the county’s unit is beyond repair. Members agreed to authorize the donation to the requesting jurisdiction. The court also briefly reviewed field‑material pricing (approximately 24 tons at roughly $3,250) and indicated it would consider bulk purchasing to reduce costs.
All votes on the listed contracts and purchases were recorded in the transcript as motion/second and voice approval; no roll‑call tallies were noted.
