Brown County Courthouse
(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission gave their approval Monday for the replacement a semi truck.
District 1 road foreman John Selland met with the Commission to seek approval to replace a 1984 Peterbilt.
Selland said the truck is running, but has several mechanical issues. He said it was told by a local repair shop that it could cost up to $35,000 to overhaul the truck.
Selland said he found a 2004 Kenworth truck available on Purple Wave Auction belonging to the state of Kansas that he would like to bid on.
Following discussion, the commission approved allowing Selland to bid on the truck for an amount not to exceed $100,000--including a 10 percent buyer's premium.
If the county is the successful bidder, the existing truck, which is worth about $35,000 to $45,000, will be sold to offset some of the costs.
