Sherman County approves bills, $337,000 road grader expenditure and CPA contract

Sherman County officials voted to approve routine county bills that included a large capital expenditure for a road grader and separately accepted a small contract with an outside CPA firm.

The Chair moved the meeting to consider the bills after discussion of line items; a committee member noted the purchase of a road grader and another participant referred to the cost as "337,000 for that." The Chair then called for a second and asked, "All in favor, say aye," after which members responded and the Chair said, "Motion is passed."

Later, the Chair introduced a contract with "Adam Brown's CPA." A committee member moved, "We accept that agreement, and it's got a total price of $2,315 not to exceed that." The Chair seconded; the Chair called the vote and the motion passed.

The approvals were handled as part of routine business with no recorded dissent. The meeting record does not specify additional invoice details or funding sources for the road grader beyond the amounts discussed in the session.
