RFD No. 2 equipment purchases approved; commissioners permit open burning with notice
Summary
RFD No. 2 reported a truck bid accepted for $31,000 (total $35,060 with delivery) and the board approved buying a radio for Unit 3 for $2,650. Commissioners decided to allow open burning due to moisture and directed the county clerk to post a public notice.
Chris Niermeier told the board May 1 that a truck bid for RFD No. 2 was accepted at $31,000, with a total cost of $35,060 including delivery. Niermeier asked the board to approve purchase of a radio for Unit 3.
Commissioner Lincoln Pochop moved to purchase a new radio for Unit 3 for $2,650 with VLS; Commissioner Alan A. Solko seconded and the motion carried.
Niermeier discussed open burning with Emergency Manager Ryan Murray and County Fire Chief Glen Wahrman. The commissioners decided to allow open burning because of recent moisture and directed County Clerk Rachel Finley to publish a public announcement on social media and in the newspaper reminding residents to follow the county’s open burning resolution.
The transcript records bid and total cost figures for the truck and the radio price; it does not identify the truck vendor, radio vendor beyond VLS, or delivery date.
