Court approves reallocation and auction plan for county vehicles to meet departmental needs
Summary
Commissioners approved reallocating county vehicles to fill immediate needs (moving a 2017 Tahoe from the DA to the crime victims coordinator and reallocating a 2015 Tahoe to building maintenance), authorized a 30-day transition with the auditor and directed auction of surplus vehicles to cover removal costs.
Commissioner Philip Cox outlined a plan to reallocate county vehicles to address staffing needs without increasing the county’s vehicle budget.
Cox recommended transferring a 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe (VIN ending in 2532) from the District Attorney’s office to the Crime Victims Coordinator and reallocating a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe (VIN ending in 2779) from Constable Precinct 3 to the building and maintenance department. Cox asked that transfers occur within 30 days in coordination with the county auditor to inventory and remove law-enforcement-specific equipment where necessary.
The court also discussed auctioning a current vehicle assigned to Rodney Floyd (facilities) to generate proceeds to fund expected removal costs (estimated at $200–$500) and to reallocate those proceeds to the sheriff’s department or removal efforts. The motions were seconded and carried; the auditor confirmed contingency or auction proceeds would be available to cover minimal removal expenses if needed.
Next steps: Auditor and departments will coordinate equipment inventory and transfer within the 30-day window; surplus vehicles will be prepared for auction with proceeds allocated per court direction.
