Commissioners voted to purchase a 2023 New Holland Workmaster 95 batwing tractor using TSPLOST funds, approving the lower quote from Carson Brothers Tractor Co. The vendor proposal listed the tractor at $40,681, freight included. Commissioner Timothy Biddle moved to accept the Carson Brothers quote and Commissioner Gerald Douglas seconded; the vote was unanimous.
At the May 6 hearing commissioners also discussed whether trading a vehicle from the sheriff's fleet could help public works; County Manager Thomas Weaver said he would contact the sheriff to explore that option. The tractor purchase is funded from TSPLOST and further procurement steps will follow county purchasing procedures.
