County approves major road equipment purchases and finalizes payments
Summary
Nemaha County authorized multiple equipment purchases, financed motor graders and accepted proceeds from equipment sales; the board made scheduled payments (Deere, Caterpillar), accepted Big Iron sales proceeds and declared surplus items for auction.
Nemaha County’s road department accounted for large equipment purchases and financing through 2023 and the commissioners signed financing and final-payment documents.
The record shows payment activity related to a 2022 John Deere 672G motor grader, a 2023 Caterpillar motor grader purchase with an initial payment of $185,290 and later payments scheduled in the 2023–24 fiscal year, and multiple purchases of trailers and tools (e.g., a Roadclipper flatbed trailer for $17,675). The county also received proceeds from surplus-equipment sales (Big Iron payments recorded) and declared a number of items surplus for sale, including a 2006 Jayco travel trailer and retired sheriff cruisers.
Commissioners also authorized credit applications and leasing as needed for equipment procurement (NMC Cat credit application signed for the motor grader). Road-district purchasing and financing were recorded in claims and in the road-equipment fund.
