County discusses motor-grader options, approves road-department coding correction
Summary
Highway Superintendent Doug Motis and the Board discussed selling versus trading motor graders and whether to purchase multiple graders to keep units under warranty; the board deferred the decision pending further research and approved a journal entry to correct a miscoded Road Department claim.
Highway Superintendent Doug Motis briefed the Board about options for disposing of or trading motor graders and whether the county should consider purchasing multiple graders so units could remain under warranty. The Board asked that the issue be researched further and scheduled for follow-up discussion closer to budget deliberations.
Separately, County Clerk Amy Nelson informed the Board that a Road Department claim was miscoded and requested approval of journal entry #2026040003 to correct the coding. Member Wade Sluka moved and Member Ralph Graham seconded approval; the board approved the correction unanimously on roll call.
No formal sale, trade, or purchase was authorized at the April 28 meeting; the grader discussion was recorded as a direction to gather more information ahead of budget discussions.
