Commission approves sale of two county pickup trucks and extends recruitment ads for highway positions
Summary
The commission approved selling two used county pickups to JJ Merchant and extended advertisements for a Heavy Equipment Operator and a Roadway Maintenance Technician I to continue hiring efforts.
Franklin County commissioners approved the sale of two surplus county pickup trucks and extended recruitment advertising for two highway positions at the Dec. 18 meeting.
Bids for a 2006 Ford F‑150 and a 2008 Ford F‑250 were opened and tabulated; the commission approved selling both trucks to JJ Merchant as the highest responsible bidder. The meeting packet includes multiple bid tabulation sheets showing bids from several respondents; the motion recorded the awards to JJ Merchant. The packet contains slight discrepancies in the written bid amounts across different tabulation forms; the commission motion recorded an award amount in the minutes and approved the sale. Successful bidders are required to remove vehicles within 14 days at no cost to the county.
The board also voted to extend advertising for two highway‑department positions — Heavy Equipment Operator and Roadway Maintenance Technician I — to continue recruitment. Commissioners said they wanted to keep active recruitment efforts until suitable applicants are identified.
