Board approves scrapping five unsafe county vehicles, asks staff to explore donations to safety events
Summary
The board authorized disposal of five county vehicles deemed unsafe (VINs listed) but amended the motion to have Fleet and Administration explore donating vehicles to school or fire-department safety events; if donation isn't viable, vehicles will be scrapped.
Fleet Services told the board on March 19 that five county vehicles were no longer safe to drive or sell due to rusted subframes, worn suspension, and other structural issues. Fleet listed the VINs and mileages in the packet and asked permission to sell for scrap.
After discussion the board amended the motion to direct administration and Fleet to explore donation for school or fire-department safety events (for example, vehicle-demonstration or awareness events) if that option is legally and logistically feasible; if donation is not viable the county may proceed with scrapping. The motion passed 15–1. Board members and the sheriff noted potential liability and storage concerns and asked Fleet to consult the Civil Division before finalizing any donation.
