Commission approves skid-steer engine purchase, barn lease and dozer financing
Summary
The board approved an $11,273.90 engine replacement for a Bobcat skid steer (with a $2,400 core credit), a $1,500 annual barn lease for Road & Bridge, and lease-purchase financing at 4.53% for a previously approved 2026 CAT D6 dozer.
Commissioners authorized several equipment and lease items during the May 18 meeting. For Road & Bridge, the commission approved replacing a Bobcat skid-steer engine from vendor Vanderhaeg for $11,273.90 (a core credit of $2,400 will be returned after the old core is returned) and waived the county purchasing policy for this single purchase; the motion passed five-zero.
The board also approved a one-year building lease with Thomas M. Maxwell of Wall Maxwell Farms, LLC for $1,500 for storage of graders and other equipment and authorized a special check. Separately, the commission chose Bank of the Plains as the lease-purchase financier for the previously approved 2026 CAT D6 dozer at a 4.53% interest rate; the motion and transcript note that the financing recommendation was approved, though the vote tally in the transcript text is ambiguous and staff will file the formal bank contract as required.
