BUTLER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Tuesday, July 10, 2001
Commission
Vice-Chairman, Randy Doll, called the Butler County Board of Commissioners to
order. Present was Commissioner Will
Carpenter, County Administrator, Jay Newton and Commission Secretary, Marcy
Zwall. Commission Chairman, Bill
Shriver was on vacation.
Connie
Rausch, Director of Department on Aging, proposed assigning the title of the
1985 Ford Van (“Old Blue” ID #0268 – owned by Butler County, used by Andover
Senior Center) over to the Andover Senior Center. The van was bought new in 1985 with a 20% match from Andover
Senior Center. Commissioner Doll
suggested giving it to another community’s Senior Center – maybe Potwin? Ms. Rausch indicated that the van was not in
desirable condition.
Commissioner
Carpenter moved to assign the title of the 1985 Ford Van (“Old Blue” ID #0268)
over to the Andover Senior Center, and inform the insurance company to cancel
the policy; and allow the Chair to sign.
Commissioner
Doll seconded the motion. Motion
carried 2-0.
FEDERAL SURPLUS FORKLIFT
PURCHASE
On behalf of Ray Affleck, Building & Grounds Department, Administrator Newton has requested permission to purchase a forklift from the federal surplus, to be used at the County storage facility. Currently, “back power”, along with jacks, is being used to do the lifting. The forklift desired is a 1980 model Hyster with 133 hours on a new motor & is priced at $4,500. Commissioner Doll mentioned that, although some type of equipment is needed, it might be beneficial to “do some shopping”. Commissioner Carpenter informed the Board that said brand was a “decent brand at a reasonable price.”
Commissioner
Carpenter moved to approve Building & Grounds to purchase a 1980 Hyster
forklift, at a price not to exceed $4500, to be paid out of the Building &
Grounds Budget.
Commissioner
Doll seconded the motion. Motion
carried 2-0.

addition, Mr. Helferich discussed the Rescue Squad 2002 Proposed Budget.
Chris
Davis, Director of Emergency Communications, presented & reviewed the
proposed 2002 budget for that department.
Commissioner Doll moved, having no further business before the board, to adjourn. Commissioner Carpenter seconded the motion. Motion carried 2-0.
