County to offer vacant Community Services building for sale; staff plan surplus furniture open house
Summary
Officials said the former Community Services building is vacant and will be offered for bid; supervisors discussed an open-house sale of surplus file cabinets, desks and shelving and agreed to publicize the event.
County staff reported that the former Community Services building has been vacated and will be offered for sale, and supervisors discussed logistics for selling surplus furniture and equipment left in the building.
A staff member identified as Steve said the county has roughly 40–50 file cabinets, several desks, chairs and shelving to dispose of and recommended a weekend open-house or garage-sale-style event to avoid moving and storage costs. "We have about 50 some file cabinets out there that need a home," Steve said during the discussion.
Why it matters: the building sits on about 4 acres, includes a walkout lower level and was described in the meeting as having roughly 3,600 square feet per floor. Staff noted a May 13 bid opening is on the calendar and suggested an open-house showing around May 1 to allow potential bidders to inspect the property. They also discussed advertising the surplus sale on local radio, in the paper and on county-affiliated Facebook pages.
County staff and supervisors did not finalize a sale; they discussed options to price items cheaply or accept offers and to coordinate notification with nearby municipalities. No formal vote on the building sale or the furniture disposition was recorded during the meeting; staff were assigned to publicize the sale and return with bid details at a later meeting.
