Warren County approves $1.01 million highway equipment purchase

Warren County commissioners approved a $1,010,700 purchase for the highway department after staff presented the recommended equipment and asked the board to record the purchase in the meeting minutes.

Speaker 2 told the board the department 'got it for $1,010,700 dollars' and asked for formal approval so the transaction would appear in the official record. Speaker 1 seconded the motion. Commissioners responded in the affirmative and the motion passed.

The purchase was discussed during the highway department report, which otherwise contained routine operational updates. Staff indicated the approval was requested so the procurement would be properly documented; no additional funding breakdown or vendor name was provided in the discussion.

The board moved on to other business after the vote; staff said the final paperwork would be placed in commissioners’ stacks for signatures.
