Summary

County fleet staff asked to surplus 13 high-mileage vehicles; commissioners approved stripping equipment and selling the vehicles via GovDeals to recoup funds for the vehicle replacement fund.

Fleet staff reported 13 older, high-mileage vehicles that are no longer suitable for county service and requested authorization to surplus and sell them on GovDeals after removing equipment, lettering and sirens. Staff said some parts would be reused in newer vehicles where compatible.

Commissioners approved the surplus and sale by roll-call vote; staff will strip reusable equipment and list the vehicles for sale, returning proceeds to the county vehicle fund for future purchases. "They're older trucks... we're gonna strip them completely," fleet staff said; the commission approved the action.
