Commission discusses options for old ambulance: sale, insurance timing and storage
Summary
Board members discussed removing insurance from an old ambulance before the July 1 renewal and the potential to sell the vehicle; no formal motion was recorded.
Commissioners discussed disposition options for an older ambulance after the county purchased a replacement vehicle. Staff advised the board that the insurance policy on the old ambulance comes due July 1 and that the county should remove it from coverage if it will not be used, to avoid paying an extra year of insurance.
The conversation covered whether the ambulance could be sold, whether equipment (signage/letters) could be left on it and whether the county could preserve sale value: the transcript records that prospective buyers did not want the vehicle with letters and that some equipment needed removal. Staff and commissioners noted ambulances were selling for good money in the current market, and one commissioner suggested asking the ambulance service manager (named as Tawana in the discussion) about whether the county needed to keep the old vehicle.
No formal action was recorded at the meeting beyond the discussion and a plan for staff to follow up on next steps before the July 1 insurance renewal.
