Alger County board sets $15,000 minimum bid for surplus hovercraft
Summary
The county board approved setting a $15,000 minimum bid for a surplus hovercraft after members noted broad market variability and parts scarcity. The measure passed by voice assent during the meeting.
The Alger County board set a minimum bid of $15,000 for a surplus hovercraft, moving to sell the vintage equipment after discussion about market value and parts availability.
During debate, a board member said the machines —w "range anywhere, you know, size of ours from 10,000 up to 40,000," and noted parts are becoming "more and more obsolete." The chair moved "that we set the sale price for the current hovercraft at a minimum of $15,000," and the board responded in the affirmative by voice vote.
Members said they were open to whatever the board agreed on to start a minimum bid and acknowledged uncertainty about where the $15,000 figure originated. The item will proceed as a surplus sale with staff to manage the listing and sale process.
