County authorizes purchase of new pickup, approves up to $10,000 for equipment
Summary
The court authorized purchase of a county pickup (Ford F-250 model identified) and approved up to $10,000 in additional equipment (lights, grill guard, radio, bed cover or camper shell, Starlink transfer) for an approximate not-to-exceed total near $60,000.
Commissioners approved the procurement of a replacement pickup for county use and authorized up to $10,000 more to cover equipment and accessories—bringing the not-to-exceed total to about $60,000. County staff said the selected Ford F-250 model was roughly $4,000 more than an earlier low-priced option but better met operational needs.
The Judge moved the purchase and a commissioner seconded; the court approved the motion. Items discussed for installation included a grill guard, reduced light package, a radio, possibly a camper shell rather than a bed cover, and transfer of an existing Starlink system to the vehicle to support field connectivity.
