Public Works requests $25,000 transfer to buy used 2018 Skyjack 86-foot boom lift
Summary
Director of Public Works Danny Yates asked the board for a $25,000 budget transfer to purchase a used 2018 Skyjack 86-foot boom lift, arguing it will reduce recurring rental costs; commissioners asked about warranty and storage and agreed to place the purchase on the consent agenda.
Danny Yates, Director of Public Works, asked commissioners to approve transferring $25,000 from Muspelos roads to the Muspelos purchases line to acquire a used 2018 Skyjack 86-foot boom lift. Yates said the county has had to rent similar equipment frequently and that the offered price was substantially below the cost of new units.
"I'm coming tonight to request to transfer $25,000 out of Muspelos roads over to Muspelos purchases line item to purchase a used 2018 Skyjack 86 foot boom lift," Yates said. Commissioners asked about a warranty and confirmed the machine would be stored inside the old bus-barn shop to protect electronics and extend service life. Staff said the purchase would be placed on the consent agenda for Tuesday's meeting.
