RENO COUNTY, Kan. (Hutch Post) — The Reno County Commission will hold their weekly meeting on Wednesday morning.
On the agenda for the meeting is the reorganization of the Board of County Commissioners. The board will appoint a new commission chairperson and vice chairperson for the upcoming year.
On the consent agenda is the authorization of the purchase of a new brush truck for Reno County Fire District number four. This purchase is necessitated by the fact that the current truck they have now has well exceeded its life span.
Bids were taken on the purchase of a 2025 Ford F550 brush fire truck from Rusty Eck Ford and the truck bed from Prairie Poly Manufactauring. The project amount is to not exceed $125,000.
The funds will come from the special equipment fund of Fire District number four.
The existing truck, which is on loan from the Kansas Forestry Service will be returned to them when the new brush truck is completed.
The county commission meeting will begin at 9 am in the Veterans Room of the Reno County Courthouse.
