Hancock County approves sale of five vehicles and buys 2025 Ford Explorer for sheriff
Summary
The commission approved selling five county vehicles to a single bidder and authorized purchase of a 2025 Ford Explorer for the sheriff’s office using congressional spending funds.
The Hancock County Commission approved the sale of five county vehicles and authorized purchase of a 2025 Ford Explorer for the sheriff’s office during its Oct. 9 meeting.
Commissioners recorded that the county received a single bid of $1,000 for all five vehicles — $200 per vehicle — and approved the sale. County staff told the commission the bidder requested one week to complete payment and delivery; commissioners agreed one week was acceptable.
Separately, the commission approved buying a 2025 Ford Explorer from Jim Shorkey Auto Group for $42,939.75 to be used as a special response investigative vehicle for the sheriff’s office. Meeting remarks stated funds for the purchase will come from a congressional spending bill designated for the sheriff’s office.
Commissioners recorded approvals by voice votes. The sale and the vehicle purchase both advance to implementation steps (payment and delivery for the sale; vendor procurement and receipt for the Explorer).
