Commissioners ratify $16,900 water heater purchase for juvenile detention center
Summary
Harrison County Commissioners ratified a $16,900 purchase of a 119-gallon Smith commercial natural gas water heater for the Willoughby Juvenile Detention Center after the vendor required upfront payment; motion passed 5-0.
The Harrison County Commissioners ratified an emergency purchase of a Smith 119-gallon commercial natural gas water heater for the Willoughby Juvenile Detention Center, authorizing payment of $16,900 to ecomfort.com.
The chair explained the vendor required payment up front rather than the county’s normal process of receiving items and then paying, and that the ratification was needed to authorize the expedited payment. Commissioner Timmons moved to approve the ratification; Commissioner Hatfield seconded. The court voted 5-0 in favor.
The ratification was described as an administrative action to allow maintenance supervisor Brad Thomas to complete the purchase and ensure the juvenile facility receives the replacement equipment without delay. No further funding details were specified during the discussion.
