Secondary Roads to buy three pup trailers after board approves fund transfer
Summary
The board approved redirecting granular-maintenance funds to buy three pup trailers (about $75,000 each) to increase hauling efficiency for gravel roads.
Secondary Roads staff told the board a proposal to buy three pup trailers would improve hauling capacity and efficiency for gravel road work, especially across long east-west hauls within the county. Laura Severson said each trailer costs about $75,000 and three new tandem-ready trucks are already built to pull trailers.
Budget and finance staff (Ryan Erickson, speaker 8) agreed a budget amendment could move the required funds into the new equipment budget; the board moved and approved redirecting the money from the granular budget to the equipment budget. The motion passed unanimously, and staff said they will proceed with purchase arrangements.
