Heard County plans surplus-equipment auction; timber sales raised $155,000; R.C. Jones Road will not be closed
Summary
Chairman Lee Boone proposed an early-summer surplus-equipment auction that the Board agreed to, the minutes record $155,000 received from timber harvesting, and Public Works Director Darold Wiggins said there is no plan to close any portion of R.C. Jones Road.
Chairman Lee Boone told the Board on March 13, 2014 that he would seek permission from the Heard County Board of Education to include school items and asked whether the Board wished to hold an early-summer auction for County equipment declared surplus. The minutes record that the Board agreed to the proposal; the discussion did not record a formal motion or a specific auction date.
Commissioner Frank Crook asked whether the County was closing a portion of R.C. Jones Road. Public Works Director Darold Wiggins replied there was no plan to close any portion of the road and said his recent contact regarding R.C. Jones Road involved timber harvesters.
Chairman Boone also stated the County's timber-harvesting work was not complete and that the County had received $155,000 in proceeds to date from timber already harvested. The minutes do not specify how the timber revenue will be used, the remaining expected proceeds, or the timeline for completing the harvest.
The meeting record shows no public comments and no executive session. The Board adjourned after a unanimous motion by Commissioner Gwen Caldwell, seconded by Commissioner Larry Hooks.
