(KLZA)-- Pawnee County Commissioners voted to approve the purchase of a new motgorgrader.

During their June 14 meeting the Board received a State Bid quote from Taylor Wenzl with Murphy Tractor for a new 770GP John Deere grader. The bid quote was for $314,856 less the trade in of $95,000 making the final price $219,856.

Commissioners also discussed a new Motorola portable radio system for law enforcement to replace the current outdated radios. A quote from Motorola was $7,648. No action was taken. It is possible that ARPA funds could be used to pay for the new radios.
