CROCKETT – During a brief meeting of the Houston County Commissioners court held on Feb. 7, members approved the purchase of several needed equipment items.
The first action was to accept the Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund (LATCF) and make budgetary amendments for such funds.
County Auditor Melissa Jeter explained that the county would be awarded a total of $374,658, which would be divided into two payments, one of which was received on January 17, the other to be received next year. The amount was considered to be a lump sum to be used on projects as needed.
Using the LATCF funds, the court approved the purchase of a Kubota M Series Tractor from Houston County Equipment totaling $57,325.
The other agenda item was to approve equipment to be purchased through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Grant fund. The equipment approved for purchase included a road cutter and claw grapple to help remove debris from right-of-ways Houston County Equipment totaling $19,974 and $4,782, respectively. Approval was also given to use ARPA funds for the purchase of a 2020 Ford F-350 Truck for a total of $25,000.
