Summary
Road department staff told commissioners an auction house would accept a $75,000 minimum for older blades and estimated resale could reach $100,000–$110,000; auction fees (8%) and logistics were explained.
Road department staff briefed the commission about plans to place older blades and equipment into an online auction. Staff said the auction house indicated it would accept a minimum of $75,000 for the equipment and suggested resale values could be in the $100,000–$110,000 range, though they cautioned prices are uncertain and depend on buyer interest.
The road official outlined that auction fees would be about 8% of the final sale price and that the platform will handle listings, photographs and pickups at the county shop. Commissioners discussed trade-in values, buyback possibilities and contingencies if the auction brings a lower-than-expected price.
