Summary
The board accepted North Salem's $151,000 loan at 4.28% to finance sheriff vehicles, choosing it over a slightly lower principal offer with a higher rate. Commissioner Rick Woodall moved to approve; the motion carried unanimously.
Putnam County commissioners accepted a vehicle financing bid for the sheriff's department on Aug. 5. Tresha Clearwaters, identified in the transcript as "the Sheriff's Matron," reported two offers: North Salem for $151,000 at 4.28% interest and First National for $150,015 at 4.40% interest. Commissioner Rick Woodall moved to approve the North Salem bid; Tom Helmer seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The transcript records the financing totals and rates but does not include repayment terms, vendor notes, or a schedule of vehicle purchases. The board's action authorizes the county to proceed under the terms of the accepted bid; staff follow-up on financing paperwork and vehicle assignment was not recorded in the transcript.
