The Boone County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 17 to accept Purple Wave’s proposal to host an online auction for the county’s Road Department surplus equipment.
Chairman Jon Lindgren and Commissioners Brian J. Yosten and Matt Niewohner reviewed proposals from four firms and approved the Purple Wave listing agreement after a brief discussion. Commissioner Brian J. Yosten moved to accept Purple Wave; Commissioner Matt Niewohner seconded the motion, which carried by a unanimous roll-call vote.
Purple Wave’s proposal was presented to the board alongside competing bids: BigIron Auctions (9% commission), Jonn Temme Auction & Realty (8%) and Adam Marshall Land & Auction (8%). The board recorded that Purple Wave offered a no-seller-commission option for government agencies, which the commissioners chose to accept.
The board authorized the chairman to sign the listing agreement with Purple Wave. The action clears the way for the county to prepare surplus equipment listings and proceed with an online auction platform rather than an in-person sale.
The meeting record does not specify a sale date; county staff will carry out the next steps under the authorization voted Feb. 17.
