Court funds $22,300 electrical upgrade at recycling center and tracks $82,920 in grant purchases
Summary
Spencer County approved $22,300 for electrical repairs at the county recycling center and discussed $82,920 in equipment purchases tied to a 2025–26 recycling grant, with a required 25% local match.
The Spencer County Fiscal Court on Dec. 1 approved $22,300 to pay K&B Electrical Services to install a new 400-amp 120/208V overhead service and five 60-amp circuits at the county recycling center.
Meeting materials included a 2025–26 recycling grant worksheet that lists grant-funded equipment requests totaling $82,920 (a Kubota skid steer at $52,150; a baler at $17,370; and two mesh trailers at $13,400). The packet shows the county is responsible for a 25% local match and includes ledger entries and claims tied to the grant purchases.
Why it matters: The electrical upgrade will enable expanded operations of the recycling facility and supports recent capital equipment purchases the county funded through grant awards. The grant worksheet and appropriations ledger indicate the county has committed funds and recorded encumbrances for the listed equipment.
What’s next: Contractors will schedule the electrical work per the county procurement process; county staff will reconcile grant match accounting and report expenditures to the grant administrator.
