Committee delays decision on 2026 F-150 pickup until Sept. meeting
Summary
County Engineer Alan Harwood presented quotes for a 2026 F-150 or equivalent, but the Ford County Highway Committee moved Aug. 5 to table the purchase decision until its Sept. 9, 2026 meeting.
County Engineer Alan Harwood told the Ford County Highway Committee on Aug. 5 that the department had received quotes for a 2026 F-150 or equivalent pickup truck. After discussion, Chair Tim Nuss moved to table the decision until the committee's Sept. 9, 2026 meeting.
The minutes record the motion to table; no purchase authorization or price was approved at this meeting. Staff was directed implicitly (by tabling) to prepare additional procurement information for the September meeting so committee members can revisit the acquisition with more detail.
The deferral ensures the full committee will reconsider the procurement at its next regular meeting rather than approving an immediate purchase.
