Valencia County approves donation of surplus fire and county vehicles to other agencies
Summary
The commission approved a resolution to dispose of county capital assets, donating vehicles (including fire apparatus) that are no longer serviceable to other government agencies; the fire chief described prior transfers and condition issues.
Valencia County commissioners approved a resolution on March 18 authorizing the disposition and donation of county-owned vehicles that county staff determined to be no longer serviceable or beyond useful life.
Chief Propp and CPO Monique Aruna told the board that the vehicles underwent an asset‑management review; many had recurring mechanical problems or lacked available replacement parts. Aruna said the recommended method of disposition is donation to other government agencies listed in the meeting packet; Chief Propp described recent transfers, including sending an engine to Roswell after flood events left some stations temporarily without apparatus.
Aruna said the transfers comply with county policy and state fire‑marshal approvals where fire‑funded vehicles are involved. The board voted to approve the resolution and include the attached list of assets for donation.
What’s next: staff will proceed with the disposition process and coordinate transfers with recipient agencies and the state fire marshal as required by grant and asset‑management rules.
