Aberdeen Board approves $30,000 purchase of used John Deere tractor for public works

The Aberdeen Board voted to approve the purchase of a 2017 John Deere tractor (Model 5085E) equipped with a Bush Hog (Model CX15) from the Monroe County Board of Supervisors for $30,000. The minutes state the purchase will be paid from Standard Industrial Fund #44.

Alderman Jeremy Belle moved to approve the purchase and Alderwoman Rhonda Moore seconded the motion. The minutes record a roll-call vote of Aldermen Holliday, Moore, Ivory, Belle and Cain voting "Aye," carrying the motion. The minutes do not record additional financing conditions, delivery timing, or whether the unit will replace existing equipment.

The purchase was taken as an individual agenda item during the special meeting; the Board then considered other items including a proposed firefighter grant and a tabled consulting authorization.
