Commissioners approve ladder truck and pumper truck purchases for county fire services
Summary
Lincoln County commissioners approved purchases of a $75,000 ladder truck (20–3, 1 abstention) and a $265,000 pumper truck (23–1) on March 17, 2026, funding source not specified in the minutes.
Lincoln County’s Board of Commissioners approved two fire apparatus purchases during its March 17 meeting.
A motion by Commissioner Troy Frassrand, seconded by Commissioner Tori Young, authorized purchase of a ladder truck for $75,000. The board approved that purchase by roll-call vote: 20 in favor, 3 opposed (Commissioners Rodgers, Kate Guin and Steve Spray) and one abstention (Commissioner Steve Guntherberg).
Separately, a motion by Commissioner Doug Cunningham, seconded by Commissioner Glen Douglas, authorized purchase of a pumper truck for $265,000. That motion passed by roll call, 23–1, with Commissioner Ricky Bryant casting the sole no vote.
The minutes record the approvals and vote tallies but do not specify the funding source or delivery timeline for the vehicles. The purchases were presented as concurrent recommendations and adopted by the full board. The items will proceed according to department procurement and budgeting procedures recorded in later administrative steps.
