Franklin County approves sale of six surplus dump trucks
Summary
Commissioners voted to allow staff to sell six surplus dump trucks at public auction and directed staff to select an auction vendor; staff estimated conservative proceeds of $50,000 to $60,000.
The Franklin County Commission voted on June 4 to authorize county staff to sell six surplus dump trucks at public auction and directed staff to select the auction vendor.
Public Works staff said the move would free up revenue to help pay for road projects and relieve budget constraints. Staff discussed three auction vendors the county has used in the past — Galval Roads, Purple Wave and BigIron — and said local representatives can support listing vehicles. "We actually have 6 in dumps that we can get rid of," the staff member said. "I'd say we're looking at 50 to 60,000 as a conservative estimate of what we should be able to see on our turn." Staff also said some trucks are movable and some are parts trucks.
A motion recorded in the meeting stated: "A motion to sell the itemized trucks from Public Works to a vendor of Jeff's choosing." The motion was seconded and carried. The recorded vote was: Mister Meador — yes; Commissioner Dickenson — yes; Commissioner Stoudemire — yes; Commissioner Wehmeyer — yes; Chair Harris — yes.
Staff said they would proceed with arrangements and bring additional surplus equipment to auction later in the year. No sale prices or specific auction dates were recorded in the meeting transcript.
