Procurement thresholds reiterated; fire and extension equipment requests reviewed
Summary
The board reiterated purchasing rules (quotes required $5,000–$30,000; sealed bids above $30,000). Extension asked to purchase a copier for ~$4,000; fire noted previously purchased bunker gear and potential invoice impacts to fund balance.
The chair reminded departments of the county purchasing policy: purchases above $5,000 require documented quotes and those above $30,000 require sealed bids. He advised staff to call administration before making large purchases and to document attempts to obtain quotes when necessary.
Staff from extension requested to use budgeted funds for a $4,000 copier replacement. The fire/EMS side said a prior transfer covered bunker gear and that an outstanding invoice could reduce next year's estimated fund balance; the clerk said the invoice will be revisited and may affect current‑year numbers when processed.
