Public Works authorized to dispose of 2017 Ford 250 pickup with approval of director signature
Summary
The board approved Public Works Director Jeremy Morris to dispose of a 2017 Ford F‑250 (license E275564) via the county surplus process or auction; estimated value ~$17,000 and exceeds the $10,000 internal threshold, so board authorization was required.
The Klamath County Board of Commissioners authorized Public Works Director Jeremy Morris to dispose of a 2017 Ford F‑250 (license E275564) at the county’s discretion, including sale or auction.
Jeremy Morris, Public Works director, told the board the truck was one of three purchased in the last budget season and has about 189,000 miles; the department estimates its value at approximately $17,000, which exceeds the county’s $10,000 threshold that requires board approval under the county’s surplus policy. Morris said the county would follow its standard surplus hierarchy—first offering the asset to other county departments, then to cities within the county and neighboring counties, and finally to auction.
Morris asked that the disposal proceed quickly because the next county auction is in October and he did not want the vehicle to sit until the following spring. A commissioner moved that the board approve the public works director to dispose of the vehicle; the motion included approval of the director’s signature for any necessary paperwork. The board approved the motion by voice vote.
The motion authorizes the director to proceed with disposal consistent with county surplus procedures and to sign necessary documents; the department indicated the vehicle may be offered to other governments or included in the October auction depending on timing and demand.
