Collyard asked to move the #2 item up so jerry would be able to leave. Motion(Porter/Meinke) to move the #2 agenda item up to the #1 position. Motion carried.

Jerry went over the bid amounts with the Board members. 

Lulich’s Bid for a 2008 New Holland was $85,750.00 for a 20ft boom mower

Lulich’s bid for a 2008 New Holland was $87,500.00 with a 23ft boom mower

Roland’s bid for a 2008 John Deere was $84,750.00 with a 20 ft boom mower

Kohel’s bid for a 2008 John Deere was $79,890.00 with a 23 ft boom mower or

$84,790.00 with a comfort hard premium cab for $84,790.00.

Jerry recommended going with standard cab on Kohel’s bid, although he would rather have a New Holland.  The price difference though wasn’t worth going with just because of what he would rather have. 

Motion (Meinke/McGee) to accept Jerry’s recommendation of Kohel’s bid for a standard cab tractor for $79,890.00.  Roll call vote taken: Porter-yes, McGee-yes, Meinke-yes, Webb-yes, Collyard-yes. Motion carried. 

Business Insurance Proposals: Collyard said it was almost a no brainer, Holden’s was less expensive and seemed to have more coverage for the money.

Motion (Porter/Meinke) to accept the proposal for business insurance through Holden Insurance Agency for $22,163.00.  Roll call vote taken: Porter-yes, McGee-yes, Webb-yes, Meinke-yes, Collyard-yes. Motion carried. 

Motion(Webb/Meinke) to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 4:25PM.

 

Respectfully Submitted,
