Kincaid trustees approve sealed-bid sales for mower and dump truck; low anonymous bid for property receives no second
Summary
Trustees accepted a $325 sealed bid for a mower and a $2,000 bid for a blue dump truck; an anonymous $201 bid for a Springfield Street property was read but a motion to accept it received no second after trustees noted prior village expenditures on the parcel.
During the meeting the board opened sealed bids for surplus equipment and property. Trustee Nelson moved to accept Bill Davis's $325 bid for the surplus mower; Trustee Broccardo seconded and the board voted all ayes to approve the sale. For the blue dump truck the board received two bids and voted to accept Richard Keafer's $2,000 offer after Trustee Broccardo moved to sell and Trustee Watson seconded.
An anonymous $201 bid was read for the Springfield Street property; Trustee Nelson moved to accept it but Trustee Merano pointed out the village had spent about $14,000 maintaining that parcel, and no second was made so no sale occurred. Trustees discussed wider online auction options (Illinois ibid) to improve turnout and avoid low opening offers before considering other disposal channels.
