Howard County Authorizes Auction of Surplus Property Including Inactive Copier
Summary
Commissioners authorized the county auditor to proceed with auctioning surplus property (example cited: an out‑of‑use copier) through the standard bidding process overseen by the auditor's office.
The court approved a request to auction surplus county property and instructed the auditor's office to handle posting and bidding. "The request is permission to go forward with an auction for surplus property," the Chair said while introducing the item, noting Wanda in the auditor's office oversees the process.
Commissioners moved, seconded and voted to authorize the auction. The Chair explained that county property that is not trash must go through an auction or bidding procedure to establish market value rather than being directly transferred or disposed. Wanda (auditor staff) will post excess items and manage the sale according to county process.
No specific reserve values or listing dates were set at the meeting; staff will publish auction details and bring any items requiring special handling back to the court as needed.
