Road and Bridge asks Harrison County court for mechanics’ uniforms and a new maintenance vehicle
Summary
A Road and Bridge presenter asked the Harrison County Commissioners’ Court to add $4,690 for five mechanics’ uniforms and to budget for a new maintenance vehicle (vendor quote $33,771), saying vendor bids are secured and financing options can be discussed.
Brad, representing Road and Bridge, told the Harrison County Commissioners’ Court that five mechanics who work in the shop have no uniforms and that grease and routine work are ruining personal clothing. He asked the court to add $4,690 to his uniform budget so the mechanics can receive vendor-supplied uniforms and the office can simplify billing by paying one vendor directly.
Brad also said he requested an additional maintenance position and would need a vehicle if the position is approved. He said county staff member Lisa provided a vendor price of $33,771 for the vehicle and asked whether the county could spread the vehicle cost over multiple years; court members said they would review financing and amortization options and noted typical multi-year budgeting would reduce the immediate-year cost.
The presenter said the uniform vendor has already provided a bid and that the vehicle quote reflected a basic model; he emphasized that the office did not need an upgraded vehicle. The court acknowledged the requests and agreed to examine the vehicle price and the budget implications.
The hearing moved on after the court sought no immediate vote on either request. The meeting adjourned later after other budget presenters finished their remarks.
