Board approves purchase of two John Deere mowers for conservation with $9,700 trade‑in allowance

The Page County Board of Supervisors approved a Conservation Department request to purchase two John Deere ZTrak mowers, applying trade‑in allowances and authorizing payment terms tied to factory delivery.

Michelle Spenagle of the Conservation Department had prepared the purchase request; she was not present, and a board member read the purchase details to the board. The board heard that the combined trade‑in allowance for two older machines is $9,700 (trade‑in amounts of $5,250 and $4,450 were cited) and that the balance due after trade‑in is $19,300. The board member said payment on the new equipment is due 30 days after the factory delivery date and that the accepted delivery date was recorded in late April.

A board member moved to approve the purchase and a second supported the motion. The board approved the purchase by voice vote; individual roll call votes were not recorded in the transcript.
