Brown County Courthouse


(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission has approved the purchase of a new backhoe for the county transfer station.

The Commission Monday approved the purchase of a 2019 Case backhoe from Victor L. Phillips, of Topeka, for a total cost of $69,043 with trade-in and a three-year extended warranty.

The current machine is three years old.

The new machine is to be financed through a lease purchase arrangement.

Plans are to check with local banks to see what interest rate they would offer to finance the purchase.  

In other business, County Appraiser Steve Markham informed Commissioners that he has hired Lanette Bowen as the new data collector.
