The Marshall County Commissioners reviewed a resolution Monday morning that allows for the sale of equipment to the Starke County Highway Department.
County Attorney Jim Clevenger explained that the wording reflects the fact that a chipper box and distributor are no longer needed at the Marshall County Highway Department. It authorizes the Marshall County Commissioners to complete the sale to Starke County.
The Starke County Highway Department will purchase the equipment for the negotiated price of $60,000.
The commissioners unanimously approved the passage of the resolution. The Starke County Commissioners will review the paperwork in January.
Marshall County will be getting a new chipper box and distributor as approved by the commissioners in November. The chipper box was quoted at $313,500 while the distributor truck was at $227,800 from Southeastern.
