THE PURCHASE OF TWO NEW ROAD GRADERS SPURRED A CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW TO PAY FOR THEM. FRANKLIN COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR DAVID LEE WAS ASKING THE COUNTY COMMISSION TO APPROVE OVER A HALF MILLION DOLLAR FINANCING PACKAGE THROUGH KANSAS STATE BANK….IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS PRESENTATION, COMMISSIONER COLT WAYMIRE POSED A QUESTION.

THE COMMISSION APPROVED THE PURCHASE OF THE GRADERS AS REQUESTED, BUT IT APPEARS THE PRESSURE IS ON TO FIND A LESS EXPENSIVE WAY OF BUYING EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT.
