The Harrison County Commissioners Court held a special meeting on November 13, 2024, focusing on the county's vehicle sales and fleet management. The meeting highlighted the successful sale of 24 vehicles, generating a total revenue of $337,458 for the county. This figure represents a significant opportunity for financial gain, especially considering that no vehicles were sold in the previous year.

The discussion emphasized the importance of selling aged vehicles as new ones are introduced into the fleet. Each vehicle sold returned an average of approximately $14,000 to the county, which is crucial for planning future budgets. The county's strategy includes increasing the sale of lease vehicles, which tend to be newer and have lower mileage, thereby enhancing the potential for higher returns.

The meeting also addressed ongoing efforts to sell additional vehicles currently in the process of being listed. The county aims to maintain a consistent turnover of vehicles to ensure continued financial benefits. Commissioners expressed satisfaction with the current sales strategy and anticipated that future sales would remain steady, provided that vehicle orders align with sales.

Overall, the meeting underscored the county's commitment to effective fleet management and maximizing revenue through strategic vehicle sales. The court plans to continue monitoring these efforts as part of its fiscal planning for the upcoming year.
