Court approves disposal and limited sale of retired sheriff’s vehicles
Summary
The court authorized the sale and disposition of retired sheriff’s office vehicles, including an option for a precinct to purchase one vehicle; actions passed unanimously.
The commissioners approved disposal options for retired Young County Sheriff’s Office vehicles and authorized one precinct to purchase a retired 2010 Chevrolet pickup at fair market value, subject to board determination.
Sheriff Bebopont presented the item. The court approved a motion permitting Scott (a precinct representative) to have the blue 2010 Chevrolet pickup at an amount to be determined as fair market value; Commissioner Craig moved the motion and Commissioner Cresswell seconded. The court also authorized placing the remaining retired sheriff vehicles on an online auction platform for a two-week posting period. Both motions passed 5-0.
Why it matters: The actions allow precincts to retain useful equipment where appropriate and move excess fleet assets to public sale. The court specified that the fair market value for the pickup would be determined by the chairman (audit/board designee) before sale to the precinct.
Next steps: County staff will determine fair market value for the 2010 pickup, execute paperwork for the precinct purchase if accepted, and place remaining vehicles on the county auction site for the prescribed posting period.
