Transylvania County donates surplus inflatable slide to Young Life and approves free transit day for regional campaign
Summary
At its April 13 meeting the Transylvania County Board authorized donating a surplus Parks and Recreation inflatable slide to Young Life Transylvania County (Resolution #12-2026) after it failed to sell at auction, and approved free transit rides May 21 for Strive Not to Drive Week.
The Transylvania County Board of Commissioners on April 13 approved a resolution to donate a surplus Parks and Recreation inflatable slide to Young Life Transylvania County after the item failed to sell at a surplus auction.
Resolution #12-2026 cites N.C.G.S. § 160A-280, which permits a county to donate surplus personal property to eligible nonprofits after posting the intent to donate for at least five days. County staff declared the inflatable slide surplus and, having completed the required public notice period and an unsuccessful auction, recommended donation to the qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The board approved the donation.
Also under routine business, the board granted permission for the county Transportation Department to offer free rides on May 21, 2026, in support of Strive Not to Drive Week (May 15–22), a regional initiative coordinated with the Land of Sky Regional Council. The free service is part of coordinated events including National Bike to Work Day and other local activities.
What was recorded in the minutes: both actions were approved by the board as presented; the transcript records formal adoption but does not provide a roll-call breakdown of votes, and both were recorded as approved.
The board also approved a routine out-of-state travel request for a sheriff’s office officer to attend a one-day training in South Carolina; departmental funds were identified for the trip.
