The Montgomery County Pubic Works Department is looking at two options in repairing a Caterpillar Grader R-140 that they run out of their shop.

 

Public Works Coordinator Jim Wright says the piece of equipment has multiple issues that they are looking to fix.

 

Wright spoke in front of the Montgomery County Commissioners in their weekly meeting on Monday morning in Independence.

 

Wright says the two options in fixing the piece of equipment could range from $30,000 to over six figures.

 

The model is a 2004 to 2005 with over 11,000 hours of work on it.

 

Wright was told by the Commissioners to work on finding an accurate total for the repairs and bring it back to next week's meeting.

 

Also tabled for next week's meeting was discussion regarding hazardous pay for those receiving it during the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

The Montgomery County Commissioners meet every Monday morning at 9:00 AM in the lower level of the Judicial Center in Independence. Meetings are available virtually through Zoom with a link on their website.
