Jay County Highway to buy third 1,000-gallon propane tank; Comcast ROW permit and vacation carryover approved
Summary
The Highway Department received approval to buy a third 1,000-gallon propane tank from Wayne County for $3,850 (installation only); commissioners also approved a Comcast right-of-way permit, sale proceeds of $10,700 from Purple Wave, and carryover of unused vacation time for a highway employee.
Robert (Bob) Howell, representing the Highway Department, presented multiple items to the commissioners on Dec. 23. Howell reported three vendor quotes for a 1,000-gallon propane tank and recommended the Wayne County quote for $3,850 with a one-year warranty; commissioners approved the purchase to include installation cost only.
Howell also presented a right-of-way work permit from Comcast for Blaine Pike just south of 125(S), which commissioners approved. He reported $10,700 in proceeds from the sale of a truck and chassis through Purple Wave. Howell requested and received approval to carry over his unused vacation time to be used within the first quarter of 2025 because he has been training a new road foreman.
The transcript records the supplier quotes, sale proceeds, and the carryover approval; it does not include vendor contact details or the installation timeline for the propane tank.
