Board declares surplus vehicles; discusses sealed bids and possible donations
Summary
The board declared surplus sheriff and EMS vehicles and approved a process to dispose of them, discussing sealed bids to maximize return and exploring donating reasonably serviceable units to departments affected by disasters.
County staff presented three surplus vehicles (two squad vehicles and a 2001 Ford Excursion) and recommended using sealed bids to maximize proceeds rather than placing them in a standard auction. Board members discussed the alternative of donating certain vehicles to departments in disaster-affected areas; one supervisor urged looking into donation feasibility for North Carolina or Georgia departments that had lost equipment.
The board voted to declare the vehicles surplus and directed staff to proceed with disposition, leaving open the option to pursue donation where legally feasible. Separately, the board also approved accepting insurance proceeds and appropriating funds to replace patrol cars and equipment as presented by the sheriff's department.
