Committee approves highway budget amendment after DOT request for brine equipment replacement
Summary
The Finance Committee approved a budget amendment to accept DOT‑timed replacement of brine equipment, noting DOT has roughly $200,000 available but requires the work be done before July; staff said the amendment should be net neutral to the county budget.
County staff brought forward a budget amendment for the highway department to replace brine equipment after the Department of Transportation alerted the county that funding is available but the replacement must occur between now and July.
Staff said DOT had about $200,000 available for the equipment and that the amendment will likely be an "in and out" transaction with no net impact to the overall budget; details such as Attachment A were not included in the packet and staff provided a hard copy for committee members to review. Committee members asked for account numbers and completeness of attachments; staff said attachment materials were available separately.
A motion to approve the fiscal number for the budget amendment was made and approved by voice vote. Staff said if additional tanks or storage were required beyond DOT's funding, the county would purchase them as needed and that the highway committee intended to meet the following day for more detailed discussion.
The committee approved the amendment and will seek further review in the highway committee meeting.
