ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
DONATION OF SURPLUS AMBULANCE TO CITY OF STATESVILLE DENIED:
Mrs. Evie Caldwell, purchasing officer, has a request from
Statesville for a surplus ambulance from the County. The ambulance
would be converted to a unit for their SWAT team for the City
Policy Department. The Sheriff's Department has declined use of
this ambulance at this time, but request consideration at a later
time. G.S. 160A-274 permits property transaction among local
governments without the formal requirements for disposition of
property, Caldwell said. Lt. Ken Shawver was present from the City
Police Department to answer questions.
Commissioner Madison inquired about the value of the unit.
Mrs. Caldwell said probably about $2,500. The value could vary
depending up the time and the buyers available.
Commissioner Boone said he did not think it is fair to the
taxpayers of the County to give away an asset of the County. He
thinks that the County should receive the market value from it. If
it is worth $2,500 that is fine, but he doesn't think it should be
given away. He sees it as a matter of equity.
MOTION from Commissioner Boone to offer to sell this ambulance
to the Statesville Police Department for $2,500.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
BALING WIRE FOR IRRDELL COUNTY SOLID WASTE FACILITY: Mrs.
Caldwell said they had advertised for bids for this item but only
received one bid although a second bid was received several days
later and too late to be considered. The bid was higher than she
has been paying with informal quotations. She had thought they
would save time and money by bidding this item; however, this was
not the case. Therefore, she requested that the county
commissioners reject all bids, since the law permits the County to
do so.
The bid received was from ABC Baling Wire Supply Co., Inc. at
a bid of $34.00 per CWT. '
