Board agrees to one-time $7,800 contribution for county road-condition camera
Summary
The board approved a voluntary one-time MOU contribution of $7,800.14 to the Pendleton County Commission to replace the North Fork road-condition camera used for transportation and public-safety decisions; the county will retain ownership and maintenance responsibilities.
S4 and S7 described a request from the county commission to replace a North Fork road-condition camera that is used frequently to check road conditions and support transportation decisions. The existing camera is irreparable and the installing firm is out of business.
S7 said emergency services' quoted cost for a new camera and installation was $7,800.14 and that the commission intends to keep ownership and responsibility for service and maintenance. "It is simply a contribution to the commission," S7 said, describing the proposed MOU as a one-time voluntary assistance that would not obligate the school board to future expenses.
S3 noted the county commission "has asked us to pay it all" but S7 clarified the commission had asked whether the board would assist, not demanded payment. After a motion and second, the board voted by voice to sign the MOU and pay the full amount; the motion passed.
Why it matters: The camera is used to assess road and weather conditions that affect bus routes and student safety. The board's decision to contribute covers the immediate replacement cost but does not commit the district to future repair or replacement obligations under the MOU.
The MOU and $7,800.14 expenditure were approved by voice vote.
