Douglas County committee approves $545,000 capital package, forwards requests to administration
Summary
The Transportation & Infrastructure Committee approved a $545,000 package of capital project requests — including drains, garage doors, a new truck and cameras — and voted unanimously to forward the requests to the county Administration and Executive Committees for funding review.
Committee member Rosemary Lear moved to approve a prioritized package of capital project requests totaling $545,000 and forward the list to county Administration and Executive Committees for further review. The package included a mix of facility upgrades and equipment: new drains for the Maple, Gordon and Pattison portals ($150,000); replacement garage doors at Maple ($65,000); a new truck ($45,000); a GNSS data collector and software ($18,000); car wash updates ($50,000); new-style plow blades ($92,000); three portal cameras ($35,000); a Hawthorne shop air compressor ($25,000); a truck bed steamer ($15,000); and additional stalls at the Pattison garage ($50,000).
"Motion by Lear, second Lohse, to approve capital project requests as presented and forward to Administration/Executive Committees. Motion carried unanimously," the minutes record. Committee members did not request separate votes on individual items; the committee approved the package as presented. The referral sends the funding request to committees that handle county budget and administrative review; no funding decisions were made at this meeting.
