Copy filed.
The County Engineer notified the Board that a trash pump sent out for repair was deemed unrepairable and asked to dispose of the pump by allowing the repair shop to keep the pump in lieu of payment for the completed work.  The consensus was to allow the engineer to vary from the county’s policy for the disposal of equipment.

Meeting was adjourned.
