Board sets $20 minimum bid for surplus vehicle; will offer to neighboring counties before auction
Summary
The board agreed to offer the surplus item to neighboring counties for 30 days and set a $20 minimum bid before auction, with consensus to lower price later if there are no bids.
The board discussed disposal of a surplus county asset referred to in the transcript as a "hover crab." Members proposed offering the item first to neighboring counties for 30 days at the county's minimum before opening it to general auction. After discussion on market value and past service life, the board set a $20 minimum bid by consensus.
One board member said Steve had done homework and research indicating a going rate in the region. The board agreed to allow 30 days for local interest and to proceed to auction afterward if there are no takers. "Worst case scenario, we get no bids and nobody around us wants it. We can lower it later," a board member said.
The decision was procedural; staff will offer the item to local governments, then open the item to auction with a $20 minimum if no local buyer emerges.
