Summary

Highway staff said they received a refund related to a grader lease and requested appropriation of $58,750.77 from the motor vehicle highway fund to reallocate that refund toward current lease payments; commissioners voted to advertise the appropriation.

Highway staff explained the $58,750.77 request to appropriate motor vehicle highway funds is tied to a refund received for a previous grader lease; the money is intended to be put back where it came from to cover remaining lease payments.

"So the request is for $58,750.77 out of motor vehicle highway for greater lease to cover new leases for 2 graders," one highway representative said, clarifying that the money is a refund, not new money. Given that the funds were a refund, commissioners said the request is simply re-appropriating money back to the lease line and the motion to advertise the appropriation carried.

Staff will provide the formal appropriation paperwork and bring the item back at the advertised hearing for a final vote.
