Commissioners set preliminary minimum for surplus 'hover crab' and agree to offer regionally first
Summary
The board discussed minimum bids and a 30-day regional offer period for an old surplus 'hover crab' unit; members settled on a preliminary minimum of about $20 and to offer surrounding counties a first chance before public auction.
County officials discussed how to dispose of an old surplus item referred to in the packet as a "hover crab," debating whether to offer it first to neighboring counties and what minimum bid to set. The board agreed that the item should be offered regionally for 30 days before being placed on auction and settled on a preliminary minimum bid near $20.
Members cited prior research and recent sale prices when setting the amount, noting they could lower the minimum later if no interest was shown. The board did not record a formal roll-call vote; the procedure and minimum price decision will be finalized by staff prior to posting the surplus item for sale.
