THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion <br />failed to pass by a vote of 1-2, Commissioners Wodtke <br />and Scurlock dissenting. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (3-0) <br />authorized the purchase of (1) Fiat at this time. <br />Administrator Wright asked for instructions on what to do <br />with the 181 CAT, and Chairman Scurlock explained that the County <br />will keep the 181 CAT. However, Director Davis pointed out that <br />there is a leak in the head of the 181 CAT, which is one of the <br />reasons they would like to trade it in. <br />Chairman Scurlock stressed that it is very common for a <br />motor grader to last 15-17 years if it is run by a reasonable <br />operator, and Commissioner Bowman suggested tearing down the 181 <br />CAT to see what repairs are needed. Administrator Wright pointed <br />out that if we do not exercise the option to sell the 181 CAT <br />today, the opportunity will be gone. <br />Chairman Scurlock noted that we don't have enough operators <br />to run all our present 8 graders at once, but Director Davis <br />explained that only happens once in awhile, just like any <br />equipment in any operation. <br />Chairman Scurlock was not convinced that the total cost <br />program was the best way to go economically on a motor grader <br />which is a piece of equipment that traditionally has a 7 -year <br />life. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board by a vote of 2-1, <br />Chairman Scurlock dissenting, authorized the additional <br />purchase of (1) 1985 Caterpillar grader from Kelly <br />Tractor, as recommended by staff. <br />35 <br />MAR 2 6 1986 <br />BOOK 63 P}1GE10 4 <br />
