Loading...
Summary
Airport staff told commissioners two courtesy cars were totaled by hail; the county approved keeping a 2014 Acadia for $3,220 and selling a 2003 Impala for about $2,600, and authorized pursuing purchase of an SUV to restore capacity.
Daviess County commissioners approved airport staff recommendations to dispose of two hail‑damaged courtesy cars and pursue replacement vehicle options.
Erica, identified by the chair as airport staff, said a March 22 storm left two courtesy vehicles totaled. Insurance adjusters offered roughly $3,220 for a 2014 Acadia — which airport staff recommended keeping despite cosmetic dings — and about $2,600 for a 2003 Impala, which staff recommended selling. "I can name off the roads, but we're working on, like, 20 different roads," Erica said in a separate department update; on the airport item she told the board she planned to use the combined proceeds and contacts with local dealers to acquire an SUV that can transport at least five people.
A commissioner moved and a second was recorded; the voice vote to accept the airport’s recommendation carried. Staff said they would work with local dealers and auctions to obtain a suitable replacement and complete required paperwork for government plates.
