Board discusses resolution to declare two old buses abandoned and authorize sale
Summary
The Scobey board held a first reading on a resolution declaring two district buses abandoned and discussed three disposal options: call for bids, auction with a minimum, or direct sale and advertising.
The board considered an "abandoned property" resolution for two district buses, introduced as a first reading item. The resolution describes the buses as district property that has "become abandoned, obsolete, undesirable, or unsuitable" and would authorize sale or disposition.
Board members discussed three basic disposal options: issue a call for bids, run an auction with a minimum price, or list the vehicles for sale and advertise a set price. One administrator noted the practical reality that 20-year-old 48-passenger buses typically attract limited buyer interest.
The item was treated as a first reading and the board discussed logistics for disposal; members did not finalize the method of sale during the excerpt provided. The transcript records the board's procedural steps but does not include a finalized sale method or sale price.
