Kernersville board approves audit contract, surplus property sale and parks equipment lease
Summary
The Board approved the FY 25–26 audit contract extension with Thompson, Price, Scott & Adams, declared three pieces of personal property surplus for auction, and approved a 60‑month lease for five parks equipment units with standard maintenance and purchase‑option terms.
The Kernersville Board of Aldermen approved several routine consent items, including an auditing contract extension, declaration of surplus property, and a parks equipment lease.
Staff explained state law requires annual board approval when a multi‑year audit engagement is used; the firm Thompson, Price, Scott & Adams will perform the fiscal year 2025–26 audit under the previously awarded three‑year engagement and the board approved the required one‑year authorization.
The board also declared three items surplus — an office desk, a credenza and hutch, and a set of trash/recycling collection bins — and directed staff to place them on govdeals.com for auction.
On equipment, staff reviewed a 60‑month lease for five pieces of parks and recreation equipment, noting the town is responsible for preventive maintenance (tire pressure, oil and lubrication) while the lessor replaces units for major failures; at lease end there is a nominal $1 purchase option if the town elects to keep a unit. Board members asked for clarification on maintenance and whether specific units were new or pre‑owned; staff confirmed some items are new (including a Toro MultiPro and a VersaVac) and others are pre‑owned within the lease package. The board approved the lease unanimously.
All items were approved without recorded dissent and will be processed by staff according to standard procurement and disposal procedures.
