Hart County approves purchase of surplus transit van for county use
Summary
The board approved acquiring the county's existing transit van being replaced through a federal/state program, with commissioners noting the vehicle's utility for senior center and county transport needs and an approximate price of about $19,000.
Hart County commissioners voted unanimously to purchase a surplus transit van that was made available through a GDOT program after the county received a new van.
Staff told the board the agency offered the county its existing van for approximately $19,000 (exact final figure described in meeting as “$19,000-something”). County staff recommended the purchase, noting the vehicle has roughly 100,000 miles and would restore the county’s ability to transport multiple passengers for functions such as senior center outings and 4-H activities. Commissioners agreed funds could come from existing contingency or other budgeted sources already allocated for similar vehicle purchases.
A motion to accept the surplus van and fund the purchase passed 5-0. Staff will complete the transaction and assign the van to county programs as needed.
