County approves $13,400 loader-bucket purchase; advances in federal funding selection
Summary
The Board approved purchase of a 4-cubic-yard loader bucket for $13,400 and heard that Traverse County advanced to the second step of selection for additional federal highway funding in 2027 or 2028.
County Engineer Chad Gillespie asked the Board to approve purchase of a replacement 4-cubic-yard loader bucket for a cost of $13,400 FOB Fergus Falls; commissioners approved that purchase unanimously (motion Nelson, second Olson). Gillespie also briefed the Board on ongoing projects, including a bridge project, CSAH 15 improvements from CSAH 6 to TH 27, and finalizing plans for CSAH 9 and Dumont.
Gillespie told the Board that Traverse County was selected for the second step of the selection process for additional federal funding anticipated in either 2027 or 2028. The minutes record project updates and the equipment purchase but do not provide further schedule or funding-commitment details for the federal selection.
