Weed supervisor authorized to buy new pickup; sprayer replacement approved
Summary
Weed Supervisor Jenkins received approval to purchase a 2024 Chevy 3/4-ton pickup from Lamb Auto for $46,936 under state bid; the board also approved replacement of a destroyed lawn sprayer and noted a mosquito fogger will be inspected to determine replacement needs.
The Clark County Board of Commissioners approved the Weed Department's request to replace a damaged 2020 Ford pickup on Oct. 15, 2024.
"Motion by Hass, second by Schlagel to approve purchase of a 2024 Chevy extended cab ¾ ton pickup from Lamb Auto using the state bid. Bid price of vehicle is $46,936.00," the meeting record states; the motion carried with all voting aye. Weed Supervisor Jenkins told the board the vehicle's rear-mounted lawn sprayer was destroyed; the assembly will be replaced at an estimated cost of $1,100. Jenkins also reported a mosquito fogger in the truck bed was awaiting inspection by VanDiest personnel to determine whether replacement is necessary.
The board's approval authorizes the purchase under state bid pricing; the minutes do not specify delivery timelines or trade-in plans for the damaged pickup. The replacement of the sprayer was approved as a separate small-charge purchase recorded in the minutes.
