Commissioners authorize lease‑purchase for 2026 Freightliner for Road & Bridge Precinct 2

The Cooke County Commissioners authorized the county judge to sign a lease‑purchase agreement and resolution with Wells State Bank to acquire a 2026 Freightliner 108 SD for Road & Bridge Precinct 2. The financing term is a four‑year period starting 10/15/26.

Jason (speaker) summarized that he previously sought permission to proceed and presented the actual agreement; a commissioner moved to approve the financing agreement and the resolution authorizing the county judge to sign. The court approved the motion 5–0.

Commissioners asked for confirmation that the resolution and agreement language authorizing the county judge to sign had been included; the motion and second were clarified on the record and the court recorded a unanimous vote.

The authorization allows the county to complete the purchase and begin the financed lease schedule as described in the packet; no additional details about the principal, interest rate or payment schedule were provided in the discussion recorded on the transcript.
