Road manager wins approval for Highway 61 median irrigation repairs and a $15,000 equipment repair

Dr. Brooks, the county road manager, requested board approval to repair the median irrigation system and to authorize equipment repairs. For the Highway 61 landscaping from Green River Road to 304, Brooks said the irrigation system must be fixed so the plantings can be watered; she estimated the cost at "about 16,000." The board moved, seconded and approved the expenditure by voice vote.

Brooks also asked the board to approve repairs at United Diesel for Unit 187, a knuckle-boom vehicle, with an estimated cost of $15,000. The motion was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote. The transcript records the estimated amount and approvals but does not include a vendor contract, line-item budget code, or invoice details.
