Roadside management asks for sprayer truck replacement; estimated cost about $84,004
Summary
Roadside management staff said the weed-commissioner sprayer truck (model year 2002) is at end of life and requested a replacement estimated at $84,004.15, noting safety improvements; the board asked staff to check CIP eligibility and funding options.
Secondary-roads staff reported the roadside-management budget covers a 0.5 FTE weed commissioner and modest increases for wages and herbicide costs. Staff said the department's sprayer truck (model year 2002) has more than 183,000 miles and is nearing the end of its useful life and requested replacement to improve safety and reliability.
"It was $84,004.15," the secondary-roads representative said when asked to repeat the projected cost of the replacement vehicle and flatbed. Board discussion focused on whether the truck purchase fits in the county's capital-improvement plan (CIP) or should be handled inside the rural-basic fund; staff were asked to double-check CIP rules and report back. The board received the roadside-management budget information.
