Court approves $87,134 truck purchase; county highlights $197,210 in fleet labor savings
Summary
Public Works will purchase a 6500 Dodge Ram for $87,134; fleet staff reported $197,210 in labor cost savings over the past year and the Court discussed adding a part-time fleet employee and supervisory reporting changes.
Public Works Supervisor Roger Johnson asked the Court to approve the purchase of a 6500 Dodge Ram with dump bed from Bachman Auto Group for $87,134.00, requesting payment upon delivery including taxes and licensing. Magistrate Tom Ellis moved approval and Magistrate Paula Bodner seconded; the motion passed with all magistrates voting in favor. Johnson described the purchase as "a budgeted expense."
Separately, Fleet Mechanic Tommy Robertson reported $197,210.00 in labor cost savings over the past year. EMS Director Mike Rogers commended Robertson’s work. The Court discussed hiring a part-time employee to support fleet operations and whether Robertson should report to a different supervisor after moving to the Fred Cain building; those staffing steps would require follow-up.
