(KLZA)-- The Pawnee County Commissioners approved a two dollar per hour pay increase for Pawnee County Sheriff's deputies effective October 19, when they met last week.
Commissioners also met with Sheriff Braden Lang, Chief Deputy John Samuelson and Deputy Taylor Bredemeier to discuss Sheriff's office updates.
Deputy Samuelson provided a quote for a new fully equipped patrol vehicle in an amount of $65,258. Commissioners said they will need to receive bids for a new patrol vehicle or receive a bid from Sourcewell which provides the state bids for such vehicles.
During the meeting it was estimated the timeline for getting a new employee certified will be one to two years.
Commissioners also approved the purchase of a 2023, 140 CAT motor grader for the Road Department through a quote from Sourcewell.
The cost of the machine is $354,650 less the trade-in of a 12M3 CAT motor grader valued at $109,500. The final purchase price will be $245,150 for the new grader.
The Board also approved using $100 thousand of the County ARPA funds for rock.
