Commissioners approve $19,500 purchase of used 2011 Ram aerial lift truck for public works
Summary
At a Sept. 23 administrative meeting the board authorized public works to buy a used 2011 Ram aerial lift (bucket) truck from Oregon surplus for $19,500 to reserve a first-come, first-served surplus listing; the board recorded approval by voice vote.
The Board of Commissioners authorized Public Works to purchase a used 2011 Ram aerial lift (bucket) truck from Oregon surplus for $19,500 at a Sept. 23 special administrative meeting.
Speaker 2, who presented the item, said the county wanted to reserve the truck because many surplus sales operate on a first-come, first-served basis and moved approval. “As most items at the Oregon surplus, it is a first come first serve,” Speaker 2 said. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the presiding official announced, “Motion carries.”
During discussion Speaker 1 asked whether the truck being replaced would be sold. Speaker 2 replied that the older truck, which has “over 300,000 miles on it,” may be sold internally but is likely to be kept for intermittent maintenance work at the fair and by other departments; Speaker 2 said it is not fit for full-time work by the sign department but would be useful for short-term tasks.
The meeting record shows no roll-call vote or detailed funding breakdown in the transcript; the purchase price was stated as $19,500. No additional conditions, warranties, or delivery details for the surplus purchase were recorded during the meeting.
