Summary

The board approved a motion to donate a surplus trailer in Independence Valley to a district employee who offered to remove it from district property.

The Elko County School District board approved the donation of a surplus trailer located in Independence Valley to John Gianopulos, a resident who previously worked for the district.

Staff said the trailer is in poor condition and that removal or renovation would be costly; estimates cited during discussion put replacement costs at roughly $80,000–$90,000 and disposal or removal costs were described as ‘‘a lot more’’ than many people expect. District staff recommended donation to avoid continued maintenance and removal expense.

A motion to approve the donation was made and seconded; board members voted in favor and the motion passed. No abstentions were recorded for this item. The district will convey the trailer to Gianopulos, who will remove it from school property and take it to his residence in Tuscarora, according to staff comments on the record.
