Young County solicits sealed bids to sell and remove courthouse gazebo
Summary
The commissioners approved a plan to accept sealed bids for the removal and sale of the courthouse gazebo; bids must include proof of insurance for removal and will be opened July 21, 2025.
Young County Commissioners authorized soliciting sealed bids for the sale and removal of the gazebo on the courthouse lawn, with bids due by 4 p.m. Friday, July 18, and bid openings scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday, July 21, 2025.
The county will sell the gazebo "as is" and require proof of insurance from the bidder to cover removal work. The solicitation instructions include mailing or delivering bids to the Young County Auditor at the physical address and marking envelopes clearly for "gazebo bids." The agenda packet contains the bid form and related instructions; the record shows the court discussed requiring proof of insurance and supervising removal to prevent damage to county property.
Nut graf: removing and selling the gazebo responds to public interest in repurposing the structure while protecting county assets through insurance and oversight requirements.
At the meeting Commissioner Presley moved to approve the sealed-bid plan and Commissioner Wiley seconded; the court voted 5-0 to proceed. The transcript notes the county will replace the gazebo at a later time and that interested parties had volunteered to remove it for free, but county law requires sales to be conducted by bid rather than gifting county assets.
Ending: Bids are to be received by the auditor's office by the posted deadline; further details and contact information were provided in the agenda packet.
