Summary
County commissioners approved a $6,815.85 purchase to rebuild a one-ton pickup's engine and transmission for Road & Bridge, authorized installation by county staff, and heard updates that a utility bed is ready and ACE Refrigeration is installing central heat and air at the Road & Bridge facility.
Woodson County commissioners on April 21 approved a $6,815.85 purchase to rebuild the engine and transmission of a one-ton pickup for the Road & Bridge department. Gary Ward, Road & Bridge superintendent, presented the NAPA bid and said the warranties are included; installation will be handled by the county shop.
The approval followed a motion by Commissioner Jerry Sedlacek and a second by Commissioner Kevin Stuber. The meeting minutes record the motion as passed; no detailed roll-call tally was provided in the transcript.
Ward also reported that a utility bed has been picked up and is ready for installation. He said staff still plan to inspect a federal surplus dump truck but have not yet had personnel available to complete that inspection. Ward added that ACE Refrigeration is installing central heat and air at the Road & Bridge facility.
The county did not provide additional budget or replacement-timing details in the transcript. The purchase will be completed through Yates Center NAPA Auto Parts and installed by Road & Bridge staff, per Ward's presentation. The county did not specify an implementation date for the HVAC work.
Commissioners did not take further formal action on the surplus-truck inspection during the meeting; Ward said the inspection remained pending staff availability.
