Commissioners discussed plans to acquire new mowers expected to arrive in August and options for funding the purchase, including using budgeted funds or a lease‑purchase arrangement.

Commissioner Carl said mowers were expected in August and that the county needed to determine how to pay for them. He referenced a previous figure of about $28,000 for two units as a point of comparison. The commission agreed to revisit the topic the following week to identify a funding source and how the equipment will be accounted for in the budget.

No formal motion to purchase or to enter a lease‑purchase agreement was made during the meeting. The group scheduled further discussion at the next meeting to firm up a financing plan and procurement approach.
