Commissioners approve hydraulic pump repair; tractor replacement discussion tabled pending research
Summary
The board approved roughly $4,500 for a hydraulic pump repair, authorized travel for Highway Secretary Lisa Jorvig, and discussed a Sourcewell quote of $223,441 for a John Deere 6M130 mower/tractor, deferring purchase decisions pending further research.
Commissioners approved a hydraulic pump repair described in the minutes as "roughly $4,500" (motion by Scott Fieber, seconded by Judith Homan; unanimous). The board also approved a travel request for Highway Secretary Lisa Jorvig to attend the SDACHS Workshop in Pierre on August 12, 2026.
Highway Superintendent Jamie Broksieck told commissioners the existing mower tractor has had recent repairs (injectors, injector pump and others) and presented Sourcewell contracts from Diamond Mowers for a John Deere 6M130 that would include the tractor and mowers. The minutes record the quoted price as $223,441; commissioners agreed not to pursue immediate purchase and tabled further action until Commissioner Steve Rhody completes additional research.
