Pulaski County will soon try to sell some land, equipment, and furniture. The county commissioners last week approved a tax sale resolution for various parcels owned by the county.
Auditor Laura Wheeler noted that they’d set a minimum sale price of $50 for past tax sales, but have since sold property to individuals for half that price. In the end, the commissioners agreed to go back to the $50 minimum.
Meanwhile, Maintenance Director Mia Salyers told the commissioners that her staff has come across a surplus of office equipment and is running out of places to store it. “We have lots of printers,” she said. “There’s lots of computer monitors. I have tons of furniture.”
She wasn’t sure if anyone would be interested in buying the stuff, but she wanted some direction about how to proceed. Auditor Wheeler suggested that Salyers hold off on disposing of the computer equipment until Roeing IT Solutions completes its analysis of the county’s technology.
When it comes to the furniture, Commissioner Mike McClure said it might be worth holding a silent auction. “People might just put down a penny, but at least we gave everybody a chance to bid on it and nobody can say we just gave it away,” McClure said. Commissioner Kenny Becker suggested waiting to hold the sale until the spring.
