The story
At an August 25 work session, the Franklin County Board of Commissioners discussed purchasing a new van for the Extension Office to replace one about 20 years old. The board tabled action, agreeing to decide at its next regular meeting.
The Extension Office van returned as a new business item on the board's September 14 agenda. In the meeting, the board approved a $62,000 budget amendment to purchase the new van, on a 5-0 vote.
