Medora board approves auction of unused 2014 Durango with reserve price
Summary
The board voted to prepare a 2014 Durango for public auction to avoid ongoing insurance/plate costs; members suggested a reserve around $5,000–$6,000 and agreed to have decals professionally removed before sale.
The Medora Town Board voted to send a 2014 Durango to auction to stop carrying insurance and plates for a vehicle no longer in regular use.
An agency official (S1) said the vehicle had been sitting and recommended listing it on a government surplus auction site with a reserve price. “I’d say we can probably put, like, a 5 or $6,000 reserve,” S1 said, adding that the town would likely have the buyer pay auction fees and should have the vehicle professionally stripped of decals before listing.
Board members discussed logistics such as setting a reserve, removing municipal decals, and whether to use govx.com or similar government auction platforms. A motion to authorize staff to prepare the vehicle for auction, set a reserve and arrange professional decal removal was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote.
The board also asked staff to begin listing details before cold weather to maximize sale prospects. No individual vote tally by name was recorded in the transcript; the chair announced the motion passed after the ayes were called.
