Commissioners approve consent calendar, enter executive session and declare Dodge Ram surplus
Summary
After approving the consent calendar and entering executive session, Meade County commissioners voted to declare a 2021 Dodge Ram (received through court order) surplus and begin the statutory surplus-sale process to direct proceeds toward vehicle needs.
Meade County commissioners unanimously approved the consent calendar, then voted to enter executive session for legal, personnel and contract matters. Later in the meeting commissioners discussed a 2021 Dodge Ram that came to the county through a court order after the owner’s death and agreed to declare the vehicle surplus and begin the statutory surplus process.
A commissioner said declaring the vehicle surplus and selling it under county surplus statutes would allow proceeds to be used to supplement highway and sheriff vehicle funds rather than try to repurpose the vehicle within county fleets. The board moved and passed a motion to begin the surplus process and instructed staff to follow statutory valuation and sale procedures.
What happens next: county staff will perform valuation steps required by statute and present sale options back to the board; proceeds are expected to be deposited to county vehicle funds per policy.
