Pendleton County Recreation--Purchase of Mower
Pendleton County Recreation seeks to purchase a second zero-turn mower to support regular maintenance of the athletic park grounds. Adding a second mower will allow the department to trade in older equipment that is no longer needed, reducing the overall purchase price. Two quotes were obtained from local vendors, and based on the combined cost of the new mower and the trade-in value offered, Wright Implement submitted the lowest bid. The final cost to be paid to Wright Implement is $2,995.00.
The Recreation Commission is requesting that the school district contribute one-third of the cost ($998.34).
I recommend the board approve the district’s contribution of $998.34 toward the purchase.
Order #26-10707 - Motion Passed: Superintendent Buerkley's recommendation to approve the district’s contribution of $998.34 toward the purchase of the Pendleton County Recreation's mower as presented passed with a motion by Mr. Derek Brown and a second by Mr. Kevin Barnard.

Declare Surplus Buses
Attached is a memo from our Executive Director of Student Services, Matt Compton, recommending that we surplus five school buses.
Board policy 04.8 states that when board property is no longer needed for school purposes, the board may authorize the disposal of the property through closed sealed bids, public auction, or sale for at least the fair market value.
I recommend that the board surplus bus #508 and bus #707.
