Parmer County buys higher-end fuel-injected lawnmower for courthouse
Summary
The Court approved buying a fuel-injected lawnmower from Lone Star Ag at $12,498.91, favoring lower maintenance despite a higher price over a $10,063.23 alternative.
Judge Isabel Izzy Carrasco presented two lawnmower options from local vendor Lone Star Ag. The fuel-injected model was priced at $12,498.91 and the non-fuel-injected model at $10,063.23. Commissioner Kenny White moved to purchase the fuel-injected mower citing lower maintenance needs; Commissioner Charles Wilkins seconded the motion and the Court approved the purchase by majority vote.
The minutes record the purchase price and the Court's rationale focused on anticipated maintenance savings for the fuel-injected unit. The vendor and delivery timeline were not specified in open session and will be handled administratively.
