Summary

Commissioners discussed a scrap-iron bid where workers recovered roughly half the material but market prices declined sharply; board members said they will reach out to bidders and check the current price before further action.

Board members raised concerns about a county scrap-iron sale after contractors Mark Wallace and Eric Burr removed about half of the material but market prices for scrap dropped 'through the floor.'

Unidentified Speaker 3 said Mark Wallace and Eric Burr "worked on it and got quite a bit of it pulled out of there. Half maybe. But then the price fell through the floor." The speaker suggested reaching out to bidders to reassess options. Other participants agreed to have staff or members check current market conditions before moving forward.

The discussion did not record a formal motion or vote on next steps in the provided segments; speakers indicated they would follow up to determine whether to re-bid or wait for better prices.
