Summary
The board approved spending $454,851.64 from the CIP to buy four new dump trucks and declared two older trucks (a 2008 International and a 2007 Mack) surplus; staff said trade-in values and proceeds from surplus sales will offset the cost but exact trade-in quotes were not yet available.
Roads staff requested approval to purchase four new dump trucks with two trade-ins and said the current ask is $454,851.64 from the CIP. A roads representative explained trade-in numbers and noted proceeds from sale of older trucks would help offset the purchase: "The 2 trade in amounts at $1.90 each, totaling $454,851.64," the roads representative said. The board approved the expenditure and also approved declaring two older trucks (a 2008 International and a 2007 Mack) surplus for sale.
Staff acknowledged they do not yet have final trade-in quotes for the two old trucks and that the surplus-sale proceeds are unknown; the county indicated proceeds will be applied to offset the total cost. The board approved the purchase request and related surplus declaration by voice vote.
