County staff updated the Warren County Board of Commissioners on the results of a recent surplus-vehicle auction and discussed a proposal to install a sheriff’s office entrance sign along Market Street.
On the auction, staff said the top bids included $4,000 for a 2018 Ford Interceptor and $8,300 for a caravan formerly used by probation. A 2019 Ford Escape listed as having a blown cylinder—staff noted it would need towing—sold for $5,800. Commissioners and staff discussed logistics for buyer pickup and noted that successful bidders are responsible for vehicle retrieval; staff said the auction platform does not manage delivery.
On signage, staff said vendors who completed earlier courthouse signage work can provide a sheriff’s office entrance sign for about $325 plus minimal shipping. The sign would be placed on the side of the building opposite the jail to help visitors find the proper entrance for permits and other services. Commissioners asked whether the purchase was budgeted; staff said it appeared not to be specifically budgeted but noted the cost was small.
No formal procurement or vote was recorded in the transcript; staff indicated the sign and auction items would be on the next day’s agenda for action or follow-up.
Clarifying details: auction top bids—$4,000 (2018 Ford Interceptor), $8,300 (probation caravan), $5,800 (2019 Ford Escape with mechanical issues); proposed sheriff entrance sign cost $325 plus shipping; bidders are responsible for vehicle pickup.
Next steps: staff will place the sign purchase and auction follow-up on the upcoming agenda for formal action as needed.
