(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners approved the purchase of a 2012 Ford F-450 diesel pickup from the Federal Surplus Center when they met February 14.
The pickup has 18,642 miles on it and the cost was $49,900.
The Board approved two purchase orders for the Sheriff's Department. The first was for a Stalker Radar system at a cost of $5,990. $2,400 of the cost will be covered by a grant from the Nebraska Department of Transportation and Highway Safety, with the County paying $3,590. An in-car video DVR with recording and extended warranties were purchased from Brite Upstate Wholesale Supply in an amount of $4598 of which $3449 will be paid by the Nebraska Department of Transportation and Highway Safety Office with the county contributing $1,150.
Commissioners also voted to rescind approval given previously for a purchase order presented January 24 for similar equipment in an amount of $5,731.
Sheriff Rick Hardesty reported that a settlement report from Big Iron for the sale of surplus vehicles revealed that the 2017 Dodge Charger Police Sedan had collapsed and will be put on the next Big Iron sale on March 8.
The Sheriff also reported that three more AED units had been received through grant funding.
The Sheriff and Commissioners discussed the purchase of two, 2022 Ford patrol units at a cost of $38,863 each, which is to be paid for through awarded USDA grant funds.
Commissioners will review the matter further during their February 21 meeting.
