Summary

The court approved selling surplus county property by auction but amended the motion to transfer certain items to UMC and to transfer a wall-mounted autopsy station and bulletproof glass to Texas Tech Health Sciences Center rather than auctioning them.

County staff asked the court to approve the sale of surplus and salvage property via online auction. During discussion, the judge offered an amendment to transfer some items to UMC instead of auctioning them and to transfer a wall-mounted autopsy station and bulletproof glass to Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, describing the autopsy station as a permanent attachment to the structure. The amendment was seconded and approved, and the court carried the amended motion.

County staff said these items are currently located at the county's medical examiner's office and will be transferred or disposed per local-government code provisions. The court thanked the staff and carried the motion by voice vote.
