Ben Domann, Jefferson County Public Works Director, reported that two employees inspected a Caterpillar machine in Illinois and that the department purchased the equipment for $112,200.
Domann told the board the department previously had authorization in the $150,000–$200,000 range to make such a purchase but that the machine was obtained for $112,200, saving taxpayer dollars relative to the authorized amount. He also reminded the commission of the NEK Association of Counties meeting in Emporia on March 4.
The transcript records the purchase price and the previously authorized budget range but does not record a formal motion to approve the purchase during the meeting.
