School board declares inoperable Genie lift surplus and approves $500 sale as‑is
Summary
The board approved placing an inoperable Genie lift on the surplus list and selling it as‑is to a community member for $500. Staff described the unit as nonoperational and noted the board frequently expedites surplus disposals when community buyers are available.
The Fluvanna County school board voted to declare an inoperable Genie lift surplus and approve a $500 as‑is sale to a community buyer.
During the consent‑agenda conversation, staff described the surplus item as an older Genie lift that has been nonoperational for a long time and is costly to store or dispose of through standard surplus procedures. A community member had expressed interest in purchasing the unit. The board moved to approve consent item 6e (surplus item) and then voted in favor.
Context and specifics: Staff identified the make as a Genie model (presented as nonoperational); the proposed sale price discussed on the record was $500 and the board was told the item would be sold “as is.” The board’s approval cleared the way for staff to complete the sale rather than incurring ongoing storage or disposal costs.
Ending: Board members asked staff to place routine surplus items on the consent agenda when community interest exists so the division can expedite transfers and avoid storage overhead.
