Commissioners authorize purchase of new HFI vehicle using carryover funds
Summary
Commissioners approved using HFI carryover funds and Fleet Services pricing to purchase an additional vehicle for the county's help-fleet; the existing 2021 vehicle will be reassigned and the new vehicle will support field inspections and septic work.
County staff requested approval to buy an additional vehicle for the HFI fleet using carryover funds and Fleet Services pricing. The presenter said council had already approved the appropriation earlier that morning and provided two vendor estimates; commissioners asked who would operate the vehicle and were told an existing 2021 vehicle will be reassigned to a part'time environmental inspection position (Greg) and the new vehicle would be for the department.
A motion to permit the department to proceed with the purchase passed. The county confirmed the vehicle would increase fleet capacity and reduce personal'vehicle reimbursements for field inspections.
Why it matters: the purchase affects departmental operations and budget allocations. Commissioners recorded the decision and staff will complete procurement under county purchasing policy.
Next steps: staff will work with Fleet Services to finalize the selection and purchase the approved vehicle.
