County approves 2025 auction of surplus vehicles and equipment using Gavel Roads
Summary
The commission approved listing surplus county vehicles and equipment with online auctioneer Gavel Roads and authorized the administrator to sign the contract; statute and county surplus policy cited.
The Finney County Board of County Commissioners approved the 2025 list of surplus vehicles and equipment for auction and authorized the interim county administrator to sign a contract with Gavel Roads, an online auction platform.
Larry Grungard, interim public works coordinator, summarized the surplus process required by county policy (Resolution 31-2022) and Kansas statute. Grungard said department heads reviewed inventories, offered surplus items to other county departments, and determined remaining items should be auctioned. The county will publish notice of intent to dispose of property per statute; notice will include time, place and conditions of sale and will run in the official county newspaper at least twice.
Commissioners asked about items with unknown approximate value (notably some heavy equipment) and confirmed Gavel Roads charges the buyer a fee rather than charging a seller commission; the vendor waives a seller fee. The board approved the auction list and contract by roll-call vote, reaching the supermajority required by statute for disposition of property in certain contexts.
