NOV 19 19 90 Boas 45 PAGE 319 CHAIRMAN LYONS STATED THAT HE AGREED WITH COMMISSIONER FLETCHER ABOUT THE SIGN MACHINE. THE ADMINISTRATOR DISCUSSED PERSONNEL THAT WOULD BE NEEDED TO MAKE THE SIGNS, AND COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK NOTED THAT THE ADMINISTRA- TOR S ANALYSIS WAS NOT THE MACHINE VERSUS THE CAR; HIS ANALYSIS SAYS IT WOULD BE CHEAPER TO BUY THE SIGNS. CHAIRMAN LYONS SUGGESTED THAT WE BUY THE CAR AND TEMPORARILY PAY FOR IT OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY AND LOOK AT THE SIGN SITUATION LATER. THE ADMINISTRATOR STATED THAT THE SIGN MACHINE IS ON HOLD AT THIS TIME, AND THE CHAIRMAN REQUESTED COMMISSIONER FLETCHER TO CHECK ON THE SIGN SITUATION. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK TO AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATOR TO PROCEED TO GO TO BID FOR A CAR FOR THE COUNTY ENGINEER WITHOUT REMOVING THE SIGN MACHINE MONEY FROM THE BUDGET AND TO TAKE THE NECESSARY FUNDS OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND, COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF WE CAN JUST AUTHORIZE THE ADVERTISEMENT TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AND THEN DETERMINE WHERE THE MONEY IS COMING FROM. HE STATED THAT HE HAD A LITTLE PROBLEM IN THAT WHILE THE ENGINEER WILL BE WORKING FOR MANY FUNDS, HE WILL BE MAINLY UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE ROAD & BRIDGE DEPARTMENT. THE COORDINATOR NOTED THAT IN THAT EVENT THE CAR COULD BE PURCHASED OUT OF FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK AGREED THAT HE WOULD REWORD HIS MOTION. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE ADMINISTRATOR TO PROCEED TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR A CAR FOR THE COUNTY'ENGINEER. DISCUSSION ENSUED AS TO THE TYPE OF VEHICLE THAT WOULD BE MOST SUITABLE - A SMALL TRUCK, COMPACT CAR, VAN, STATION WAGON, ETC., AND IT WAS AGREED THAT THE ADMINISTRATOR WILL WORK THIS OUT.
