While the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors are in the midst of setting the budget for the next fiscal year, the Board on Monday did agree to a purchase for equipment that will be delivered 10-12 months from now.
The Board agreed to purchase two motor graders for Humboldt County Secondary Roads, upon the recommendation of Humboldt County Engineer Ben Loots.
After some discussion, the Board unanimously agreed to purchase two 140 all-wheel drive 2022 Caterpillar motor graders for a total cost of $643,478, including trade-in of old machines from Ziegler CAT of Fort Dodge. The figure was incorrectly reported in the Feb. 10 edition of the Independent. The new machines will be delivered to the county within 10-12 months.
