Commissioners agree to proceed with surplus declaration for sheriff's damaged vehicle to local chaplain program

Greg Hansen presented an email from the sheriff and a company letter requesting that the county declare a damaged sheriff's vehicle surplus and donate it to the Monmouth Independence Chaplains (Dallas may join the group). Hansen said the vehicle was damaged in a collision with a deer and that the sheriff recommended donation rather than selling it at auction: "they're requesting that we donate that vehicle to the chaplain program." He added that past practice has been to auction surplus vehicles but the sheriff supports donation for this request.

Commissioners confirmed the specific vehicle has been identified and has not been placed on auction; Hansen said he would notify the sheriff and proceed with the donation letter and process. The chair directed staff to handle the surplus declaration that day. No formal recorded roll-call vote on the donation appears in the transcript; the board instructed staff to complete the administrative surplus-declaration and donation steps.
