Board sets $15,000 minimum bid for county hovercraft
Summary
At its meeting the Alger County board approved a motion to set a $15,000 minimum bid for a county hovercraft, citing the vehicle's age (about 15'16 years) and growing difficulty sourcing parts; the sale will proceed under the established minimum.
The Alger County Board voted to set a minimum opening bid of $15,000 for the county'owned hovercraft. A board member said the craft has been in county possession for about "15 going on 16 years" and recommended the $15,000 floor because parts are harder to find and the market for similar craft varies widely.
"I would move that we set the sale price for the current hovercraft at a minimum of $15,000," the mover said during the discussion, noting comparable listings ranged "anywhere... from $10,000 up to $40,000." After brief discussion the board moved and approved the sale price minimum. The board directed staff to proceed with the sale process under that minimum bid.
