Cairo board opts to solicit snow-removal bids before auctioning tractor and heavy equipment
Summary
Chairman Vanessa Joseph moved to auction a tractor, skid loader, and backhoe, but Trustee Megan Brumley successfully moved instead to obtain bids for snow removal and advertise in the Moberly Monitor Index; the board carried the counterproposal on a voice vote.
At the June 18, 2025, meeting the Cairo Board of Directors considered disposal of public works equipment. Chairman Vanessa Joseph moved to auction the tractor and attachments, skid loader, and backhoe. Trustee Megan Brumley countered with a motion to solicit bids for snow removal and to advertise for bids in the Moberly Monitor Index before sending the equipment to auction; Vanessa seconded the counter motion and it carried on a voice vote.
The minutes record the equipment list (tractor and attachments, skid loader, backhoe) and the board's instruction to request bids and advertise, but they do not record bid deadlines, reserve prices, or a timeline for if/when the equipment will be sent to auction. The board’s decision replaces an immediate auction with a solicitation process aimed at securing local snow-removal services or bids first.
