Court approves sale of 1994 Bomag to City of Mart and names conference point of contact
Summary
The court rescinded a prior order and approved selling a 1994 Bomag to the City of Mart, agreed to draft a surplus‑property policy for future transfers and named Suzanne Demmer as point of contact for the 2025 North and East Texas judges and commissioners association conference hosted in McLennan County.
McLennan County Commissioners Court on Jan. 7 approved rescinding a prior order and authorized sale of a 1994 Bomag roller to the City of Mart. The court discussed the machine’s age and condition — noting potential repair costs — and several court members urged development of a consistent surplus‑property policy to guide transfers to cities and nonprofits.
During discussion, commissioners compared prior transfers (for example, of older equipment to City of McGregor) and suggested establishing standard guidelines or a policy to ensure fairness and transparency when selling or donating surplus county equipment. One court member described the machine as a 30‑year‑old piece of equipment that might require significant cost to rehabilitate.
Separately, the court approved naming Suzanne Demmer as the county’s point of contact for arrangements for the 2025 North and East Texas County Judges and Commissioners Association annual conference, which will be hosted in McLennan County July 21–24, 2025; the court also approved sponsoring the host‑court night for the conference. The court reappointed Danny Garrett to the Emergency Preparedness Advisory Committee (EPAC) for a two‑year term beginning after his prior appointment expired Dec. 31, 2024.
Court action: rescind prior order (as required) and approve revised order declaring the specified vehicle surplus and authorizing its sale to the City of Mart; direct staff to develop a surplus‑property policy and designate executive assistants (led by Suzanne Demmer) as points of contact for conference planning.
Unspecified at meeting: exact sale price received by the county in this transaction record (the transcript records discussion of amounts but the court ultimately approved the sale and directed staff to create policy guidelines).
