Public works director requests $35,000 river‑work device; commissioners approve
Summary
The public works director described a device that reduces the need for crews to enter the river for removal work, requesting purchase at $35,000. Commissioners discussed safety benefits and approved the purchase.
The public works director asked the board to approve purchase of equipment used to pull debris from the river, saying it reduces the need for staff to work in the water and improves crew safety. "I know asking 35,000 for it," the director said, and described how the tool helps pull material to the bank so crews do not have to use chainsaws in the river.
Commissioners asked about prior practice and the equipment's operational benefits; the board moved to approve the $35,000 purchase. The vote was recorded in the meeting minutes and the director said the device had already been trialed for a couple of weeks.
