Summary

To restart bidding on surplus equipment, council lowered the minimum bid for the irrigation pivot from $30,000 to $20,000 and set the pump minimum at $1,500. The changes were approved unanimously so the items can be re-advertised for sealed bids.

The Bainville Town Council voted to reopen the sealed-bid sale of an irrigation pivot and a pump by lowering the minimum bids.

Councilmember Brian Myers moved to reduce the irrigation pivot minimum from $30,000 to $20,000; John Gilligan seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The council also approved lowering the pump minimum bid to $1,500 after a motion by Carol Rasmussen and a second by Brian Myers.

The council directed staff to re-advertise the items with the new minimums. No new bidders or dates were recorded in the minutes; the motions only authorize reopening the sealed-bid process with the revised minimums.
