Monroe County approves fleet transfers, surplus sales and donations to rescue squad and EMA
Summary
Commission authorized multiple surplus declarations, donations and sales — including laptops to the Rescue Squad and several vehicles and equipment transfers to EMA, Highway Department and public auction.
The Monroe County Commission approved a series of surplus-property resolutions that declared equipment and vehicles excess and either donated them to local agencies or listed them for sale.
Resolution 11-26-6h permits the sheriff's department to donate two surplus laptops to the Monroe County Rescue Squad. The commission also approved 11-26-6i to declare a department copier surplus for discard.
Several vehicle transfers were approved: 11-26-6j authorizes donation of a 2005 Ford E-350 van (45,756 miles) to the Rescue Squad; 11-26-6k allows donation of a 2006 Ford F-250 (86,411 miles) to Monroe County Emergency Management (EMA). As a staff member explained during discussion, the EMA vehicle will serve as a spare to haul a command trailer and an air trailer used to refill firefighters' air packs.
Resolution 11-26-6l transfers a Leeboy 5000 Pathmaster to the Highway Department. Commissioners also approved a resolution to declare several shared vehicles and military equipment surplus and place the items for sale on GovDeals (11-26-6ms), with an attached list referenced in the meeting record.
All surplus transfers and donations were moved, seconded and carried by roll call. The transcript records routine approvals and limited discussion focused on vehicle use and operational needs; no public objections were recorded.
The county will proceed with the donations and surplus auctions per the approved resolutions.
