Summary
The board adopted Resolution 2631 to sell a 2008 John Deere 872D grader to Ed Lyons of Mountain Valley Excavating LLC for $50,000 cash and $20,000 in road base (valued at current rates); the chair is authorized to execute transfer documents.
The Custer County Board of Commissioners adopted Resolution 2631 on June 17 to confirm the sale of a 2008 John Deere 872D grader. The sealed‑bid sale winner was identified as Ed Lyons of Mountain Valley Excavating LLC; the bid comprised $50,000 cash plus $20,000 worth of road base (at current price equating to approximately 1,818 tons). The resolution authorizes the chair to execute documents necessary to transfer title.
Commissioners briefly discussed the condition of the grader; county staff noted the equipment lacks a front fender and may require aftermarket parts or fabricated mounting brackets to prevent damage during operation. The buyer will coordinate with county staff on any required repairs or mounting work as agreed in the transfer process. The motion to adopt the resolution passed by unanimous vote.
