Summary
The Board accepted high bids from an Auctions International sale (ended Sept. 22); notable accepted bids included a John Deere 410 backhoe loader at $4,500, a Champ forklift at $2,250, and several snowmobiles; the Board determined the high bids represented the best return and accepted them unanimously.
The Town declared multiple pieces of equipment surplus and offered them through an Auctions International online auction that ended Sept. 22, 2025. The Board accepted the high bids for each listed item. Significant accepted bids included a John Deere 410 backhoe loader for $4,500; a Champ forklift for $2,250; a 2007 Skidoo Superwide snowmobile for $2,000 and other snowmobile receipts ($1,550 and $1,450). Smaller items accepted included welders, an ultraviolet machine ($590), and metal halide fixtures ($25).
The resolution (Resolution 45 of 2025) states the Board "has determined that the high bids for these pieces of equipment are the best return available" and moves to accept those bids. The minutes do not provide a summed total of auction receipts or indicate planned use of proceeds; the motion to accept was adopted unanimously.
