Holt County Supervisors approved the purchase of a new pickup, Monday, when they met in regular session at the courthouse in O'Neill.
Deputy Ed Nordby presented a bid of $49,446 from Anderson Auto Group through the State of Nebraska purchasing Bureau. The new vehicle will be a 2024 Ford F150 Super Crew XLT 4x4, with a push bumper, full-length running boards and driver-side spotlight.
Nordby said, "Sheriff Matchett has it in the budget."
County Clerk Cathy Pavel said American Recovery Plan Act funds are available for use toward the purchase.
"Emergency vehicles are eligible for use," she said.
She and Matchett will discuss use of the funds.
Following a motion by Dustin Breiner and a second by Scott Keyes, supervisors approved the purchase. Supervisor Josh Treptow was absent.
In other business, supervisors:
• Accepted the state audit report for Holt County.
• Approved a bid of $310,023.53, submitted by A & R from Plainview, for a concrete box culvert on a project scheduled for construction, southwest of Atkinson;
• Learned the county will partner with Knox County to apply for a multi-county asphalt grant. Road superintendent Gary Connot said the Nebraska Infrastructure Hub will assist with grant writing.
