The Jefferson County Board approved a resolution declaring a surplus county asset and an intercounty sales agreement to sell a PosiShell unit, three pallets of PosiShell material and related items to Bonneville County for $25,000.

Solid-waste staff (Brandy) said the PosiShell system — a spray-applied cover used at landfills and compost operations — had been purchased years earlier and had not been used extensively. Bonneville and Madison counties expressed interest in the equipment. County staff negotiated an intercounty sales agreement for $25,000 and presented a draft resolution and agreement to transfer the unit to Bonneville County.

Legal and procurement questions were raised during the meeting. Staff and commissioners discussed Idaho code provisions (including Idaho Code section 67-2322 and related sections) that allow intergovernmental conveyances without public notice when there is no consideration, and the separate surplus-sale procedures required when the county receives payment. Staff said the recommended approach was to execute an intercounty agreement and to advertise the sale as required by statute, and they discussed locating a VIN or serial number on the unit and how advertising/notice would be handled.

Commissioners voted to approve the surplus resolution (Resolution 2025-28) and the intercounty sales agreement; staff will complete the paperwork, advertise as required and arrange the sale and transfer.

What was approved: a resolution declaring the PosiShell and related items surplus and an intercounty sales agreement to sell the equipment and material to Bonneville County for $25,000. Staff were instructed to follow statutory notice and transfer procedures and to record serial/VIN information where available.

Next steps: solid-waste staff will finalize the intercounty agreement, advertise per statutory requirements if necessary, confirm serial/VIN numbers and complete transfer to Bonneville County.
