Commission hears plan to auction county tri‑axles with $430,000 guaranteed minimum
Summary
Staff proposed sending multiple Kenworth tri‑axle trucks to a June auction with a guaranteed minimum of about $430,000; commissioners said historically proceeds return to the road department and staff budgeted conservative revenue assumptions.
Clay Phillips told the commission the county had a proposal from JM Wood to include several Kenworth tri‑axles in a June auction (June 16–18) with a guarantee in the neighborhood of $430,000. "They're guaranteeing, 430, thousand," he said, noting the proceeds historically return to the road department for other uses.
Commissioners asked how that compared to original purchase prices and staff said many trucks only needed minor work such as new tires. Finance/staff noted the county had budgeted some revenue conservatively and that auction receipts typically exceeded budgeted estimates. The commission indicated it would accept an auction contract recommendation on the regular meeting agenda if staff recommends proceeding.
