McPherson County to buy belly-dump trailer from inheritance fund; road fund to repay
Summary
The board approved purchase of a 2018 XL Specialized 3-axle belly-dump trailer for $39,500 from Jerry Blackwell Trucking & Sales, to be paid from the county inheritance fund and repaid from the Road Fund, and included conditions for delivery and inspection.
At a May 28 special meeting and again at the June 10 regular meeting, the McPherson County Board of Commissioners approved purchase of a 2018 XL Specialized three-axle belly-dump trailer from Blackwell Truck/Trailer Sales (Jerry Blackwell Trucking & Sales) for $39,500. The special-meeting motion on May 28 authorized the purchase subject to conditions: county payment (to be issued at the June 10 meeting), free delivery included, and the commissioners reserved the right to refuse acceptance if the trailer was materially misrepresented in the advertisement. The June action (Resolution #2019-10) confirmed the purchase and directed payment from the Inheritance Fund with repayment to that fund from the Road Fund.
The board recorded that repayment to the Inheritance Fund would come from the Road Fund; the motion passed with unanimous votes by commissioners present. The minutes note that the trailer purchase decision followed review of quotes and used-trailer advertisements and that commissioners would retain the right to refuse the unit if it proved misrepresented.
Recording the purchase in the Inheritance Fund ledger and the Road Fund repayment plan completes the immediate procurement steps; follow-up items include issuing payment, overseeing delivery, and documenting the repayment schedule.
