BACKGROUND
Gaston County has designated the vehicles listed on the attached Surplus Vehicle list to be in poor condition, uneconomical for continued use, and as having met the established surplus criteria. This Board Action formally declares the vehicles listed as surplus and authorizes their sale via the online auction service GovDeals.com. Approval of this Board Action authorizes the County Manager to enter into an agreement with GovDeals.com, with payment of the on-line auction service to come from a Buyer's Premium paid by the Buyer, and appropriates funds from auction sale proceeds into the Motor Vehicle account per the attached Budget Change Request.
Further, approval of this Board Action authorizes the County Attorney to draft any necessary documents for the sale of these surplus vehicles and authorizes the County Manager or his designee to sign said documents on behalf of Gaston County.
This also authorizes the appropriation of funds from the sale of surplus vehicles into an account to replace vehicles that will require repairs that either exceed the value of the vehicle, or from a practicality standpoint, does not make good business sense to continue maintaining.
