Harvey County authorizes online auction of surplus sheriff’s vehicles
Summary
The county adopted Resolution 2026-10 authorizing the sale of five surplus sheriff’s vehicles on the Purple Wave online auction site; the resolution requires VINs be attached before publication.
The Board of Harvey County Commissioners adopted Resolution 2026-10 on April 21 authorizing the sale of surplus vehicles from the sheriff’s fleet. The packet lists the vehicles to be sold online: a 2020 Ford Explorer, a 2020 Ford F-150, three 2023 Ford Explorers and a 2016 Ford Taurus.
Undersheriff Shawn Chapman presented the resolution and said the vehicles would be sold on the Purple Wave online auction platform. County counselor Jantz requested that vehicle VINs be attached to the resolution prior to publication. The minutes record the board adopting Resolution 2026-10 as presented, subject to staff review; the motion was recorded as passing unanimously by the commissioners present.
The resolution directs that the standard public-notice steps required by Kansas law be followed (the resolution notes notice must be published twice in the county’s official newspaper). The minutes do not record the exact auction dates, sale reserve, or projected revenue; those details were not specified in the meeting record.
