Pike County court approves $24,000 purchase of side‑by‑side for landfill operations

Pike County court authorized purchase of a side‑by‑side vehicle for the county landfill from Kiefer Motorsports for $24,000 and approved issuing payment during a special meeting.

County staff (Greg) reported two quotes for the vehicle; one quote came from Extreme Motorsports and another from Kiefer Motorsports. The transcript records that Kiefer had a similar vehicle available and could sell it at the stated price. The court moved to purchase the Kiefer vehicle, the motion was seconded, and the clerk called a roll‑call vote that recorded four affirmative votes and no opposition.

Commissioners noted the differential between quotes and acknowledged the county's need for the equipment. The motion included explicit authorization to issue payment. The court did not record additional procurement conditions (for example, warranties or delivery dates) in the meeting transcript.

The vehicle will be used by landfill operations; staff will handle delivery and payment processing as authorized by the court.
