Commission approves $16,602.95 mower purchase and capital appropriation for Community Service Building
Summary
The commission approved a $16,602.95 purchase from Holmes Rental and Sales Inc. for a 72‑inch mower and appropriated the funds into capital for the Community Service Building after maintenance recommended the Holmes model over a lower‑priced John Deere unit.
During the Aug. 6 regular session the Morrow County Commission approved the purchase of a new mower and a capital appropriation to fund it.
A county speaker reported two quotes: Holmes Rental and Sales Incorporated for $16,602.95 and John Deere for $14,045.34. The maintenance supervisor recommended the Holmes unit for consistency with existing equipment and because of its suspension and operator comfort. "It has the... much smoother ride ... and makes blowing a lot more bearable," the maintenance rationale said.
Speaker 3 moved to approve the purchase from Holmes Rental and Sales Inc. for $16,602.95 based on the maintenance recommendation; Speaker 2 seconded the motion. Commissioners identified in the roll call—Mister Mason, Mister Abraham and Mister Siegfried—voted yes and the motion passed. The commission also approved appropriating $16,602.95 into capital for the Community Service Building.
The record shows no recorded abstentions or no votes on this item in the transcript. The meeting contained no additional resolutions or budget amounts associated with the mower beyond the quoted figures and the capital appropriation recorded at the session.
