Board sets $15,000 minimum bid for surplus hovercraft
Summary
The Alger County board voted to set a $15,000 minimum opening bid for a surplus hovercraft, noting the craft is roughly 15—6 years old and parts are increasingly hard to find, with comparable market prices discussed in the meeting.
Board members discussed selling a surplus hovercraft and debated an opening minimum bid. One board member said the craft has been in county possession for about 15 to 16 years and that market listings for similar craft range from roughly $10,000 to $40,000; parts and upkeep are becoming harder to source.
"I would move that we set the sale price for the current hovercraft at a minimum of $15,000," the chair said. The board approved the motion by voice vote. Members said they were open to whatever the board collectively agreed to as a starting minimum and noted that the county will include extra parts with the sale if available.
