Highway supervisor to get work cellphone and $50 stipend; county OKs $16,600 mower purchase
Summary
Commissioners approved issuing the county work cellphone number to HS Eggleston with a $50 monthly stipend (the minutes include a recorded vote inconsistency) and authorized purchase of a 2025 Ver M7050 disc mower for $16,600.
The board approved a motion to issue the county work cellphone number to HS Eggleston personally and to increase the cell-phone stipend to $50 per month for Eggleston, the weed supervisor and the highway foreman. The minutes record the motion as carried but include an inconsistent vote entry that lists Commissioner Sara Gjerde as both voting "aye" and voting "nay." The motion was recorded as carried; the minutes do not clarify the correct individual vote for Gjerde.
The board separately approved (motion by Francis Hass, second by Chris Sass) allowing HS Eggleston to purchase a 2025 Ver M7050 disc mower from Westside Implement for $16,600.00. The mower purchase was recorded as approved with all voting aye.
The minutes use the label "HS Eggleston" when referencing the highway staff member; the record does not expand the HS abbreviation or provide additional procurement financing details beyond the purchase price.
