The Grundy County Commission moved forward on three large purchases and made two appointments during a meeting Tuesday morning.
According to Grundy County Clerk Betty Spickard, the commission accepted the loan bid of $28,000 from S&B Hinnen Trucking for a 1994 International 9300 Road Tractor. A quote from Command One of Centertown was accepted for a radio for the new ambulance at a cost of $8,858.58 and the commission voted to move forward on the purchase of a 911 console from Command One at cost of $269,767. The cost of the console will come from the $600,000 included in the 911 budget for this year.
In other business, Ashley Wilson and Janet Wilson were appointed to fill vacancies on the Families and Friends of the Developmentally Disabled in Grundy County Board of Directors. They replace Connie Olmstead and Jackie Wyant, who have resigned. Commissioners also met with Henry Martin, a Democrat who has announced that he will seek election to the U.S. House of Representatives from the Sixth District, and conducted an online interview for the position of ambulance director.
The commission spent the remainder of the week at the Missouri Association of County Commissioners meeting in Columbia and are scheduled to host the annual meeting with township officials Friday evening.
