Commissioners approve sale of surplus ambulance for $112,000 to fund new vehicle purchase
Summary
The board approved selling a 2023 Dodge 4500 ambulance for $112,000 after another agency offered that price; proceeds will support purchase of a new ambulance the county previously agreed to buy.
Morgan County Commissioners on Oct. 20 authorized the sale of a surplus 2023 Dodge 4500 ambulance for $112,000 after staff said another agency offered that price, exceeding a previously proposed trade‑in value of $100,000.
Brent, the staff member who presented the item, told the board that in July the county committed to buying a new ambulance and had been offered a fair‑market trade value of $100,000 for the 2023 Dodge 4500. He said another agency approached the county and offered $112,000 to purchase the vehicle outright and asked the board for permission to complete that sale so the county would have additional funds to continue the replacement purchase.
A motion to accept the sale was made in the meeting (Brian Keiser is recorded as making the motion in the transcript), a second was recorded, and the board approved the action by a 3–0 vote. The transcript referenced this action with a resolution identifier described in the meeting as “resolution 2025‑10‑20” for EMS; the transcript included some numbering discussion but recorded the motion and subsequent approval.
