District auction nets $14,431 after fees; facilities plans to buy scissor lift and trailer
Summary
Facility director Jason Perkins reported that a recent auction sold 45 items for $18,340 gross ($14,431 net) and that the district intends to use the proceeds to purchase a scissor lift and trailer for maintenance tasks.
Jason Perkins, the district’s director of facilities, updated the Board of Education on the recent Bittergy auction and proposed using the proceeds to purchase a scissor lift and a trailer.
Perkins reported that the auction sold 45 items and raised $18,340 gross; after fees the district received a check for $14,431. Perkins said the facilities department frequently rents a scissor lift for maintenance tasks (changing light bulbs, accessing air handlers, ceiling work) and that the cumulative rental cost over the past year would justify buying a unit and a trailer. He said the planned purchase falls under the district’s bid threshold and that the auction proceeds would cover the cost.
Trustees treated the update as informational; no formal approval was requested at the Jan. 27 meeting but Perkins asked for feedback and noted the board had previously approved the auction. Board members expressed appreciation for the update and the practical plan to keep equipment in district inventory.
Perkins said the next steps are to proceed with procurement under the applicable purchasing rules and return with receipts or a follow‑up report as appropriate.
