County to repost unsold hospital equipment on GovDeals for a third week; unsold lots may be scrapped or donated
Summary
Items from the former hospital that did not sell on GovDeals were discussed; the board agreed by consensus to repost three unsold lots for a third week and then consider donation or disposal if they again receive no bids.
The county’s attempt to sell surplus hospital equipment through GovDeals produced several unsold lots (exam tables, cabinets and a non-working x-ray machine among them). Staff said most lots had been posted for two weeks with no bids; three lots remained unsold.
After discussion about local versus national auction strategies and the cost to run a local auction, commissioners agreed by consensus to repost the remaining lots on GovDeals for a third week with low opening bids (as low as $10) and to consider donation or disposal if the items receive no bids. Commissioners noted some items could be scrapped or sold for parts; staff was asked to check with the county’s insurer or property-disposition rules before donating or scrapping higher-value items.
No formal motion was recorded; staff will repost the lots and report results back to the board.
