Board requires Engineer to provide docs for Secondary Roads purchases; $25,000 emergency threshold maintained
Summary
The board directed the County Engineer to provide documentation to the County Auditor for equipment and vehicle purchases by Secondary Roads for board review; purchases under $25,000 may proceed before board approval in declared emergencies.
The O'Brien County Board discussed and clarified approval procedures for equipment and vehicle purchases by Secondary Roads on Sept. 2. The board determined that the County Engineer will provide purchase documentation to the County Auditor, who will forward it to the board for review at the next meeting.
The meeting record states that "If a purchase is under $25,000 it can be made prior to board approval if there’s an emergency." The board did not specify additional thresholds or a timeline for routine purchase approvals; the Engineer was tasked with preparing the documentation for the next board meeting.
