Road foreman raises tractor repairs and work‑schedule questions; commissioners authorize replacement bid advertisement
Summary
Road Foreman Waylon Reynolds reported brake problems on the county's 8970 tractor, discussed replacing the 8830, and raised unpaid‑holiday and 4/10 work‑schedule issues; the board authorized advertising sealed bids for a 140–170 HP tractor to be opened June 27.
Waylon Reynolds, Road Foreman, reported equipment problems and personnel questions to the Rock County Board of Commissioners on May 20.
Reynolds said the 8970 tractor still needs repairs and that the brakes ‘‘aren’t working right.’’ He discussed the prospect of replacing the older 8830 and requested the board authorize solicitation of replacement equipment. After legal guidance from County Attorney Kurt Arganbright, commissioners agreed that holiday hours will be followed as provided in the employee handbook; issues about 4/10 workdays discussed by employee Tyler Buoy were tabled for later consideration.
Commissioner Colby Sybrant moved and Commissioner Faye Smith seconded a motion to advertise for sealed bids for a 140–170 HP, front‑wheel‑assist tractor with under 5,000 hours; bids will be opened at 9:30 a.m. during the June 27, 2025 end‑of‑fiscal‑year meeting. The motion passed by unanimous roll call vote.
