Public Works asks for $25,000 milling head, board discusses fleet-lease option
Summary
Public Works requested a milling-head attachment costing about $25,000 for pavement work and discussed equipment needs, possible transfer of surplus vehicles, and exploring fleet-lease programs that rotate vehicles every 3–4 years.
Public Works presented capital requests including a milling-head attachment for the skid steer (used for asphalt tie-ins, cutting joints and removing roots) estimated at about $25,000. The director said the attachment is specialized for pavement work and would improve the county's ability to repair roads and prepare surfaces for new paving.
Commissioners discussed equipment-sharing options and whether a surplus vehicle or a retired deputy truck could be repurposed. Staff also raised the possibility of using a fleet-lease program (enterprise-style) that rotates vehicles every three to four years to reduce long-term replacement costs. The director noted some attachments (e.g., a Multi-Max for clearing brush) remain under consideration for a later meeting.
