Agenda Date: May 4, 2026, 10:30 a.m.
Subject: PUBLIC HEARING: Disposal of Surplus County Property (Equipment)
Statement of Issue:
Public Works has surplus equipment and vehicles to be disposed of. RCW 36.34.020-.090
outlines the statutory requirements to dispose of property. The list of equipment for surplus
and sale is included in the attached Resolution.
Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's & Con's:
Equipment on this list will be sold by online consignment service open to the public such as, but
not limited to, GovDeals, Inc. of Montgomery, Alabama, or used for trade-in. Notice of Sale will
be posted as required by RCW 36.34.090 prior to items going up for sale which will describe
where potential purchasers of equipment should check for its availability online. Items on the
attached Resolution will be available at the online consignment site(s) at various times
throughout calendar year 2026. Potential purchasers should check the consignment site(s)
regularly to see when items become available. Specific dates and viewing opportunities will be
detailed on the online consignment site. Public Works has consulted with the County Treasurer
in accordance with RCW 36.34.080.
Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis:
Proceeds from items sold will be returned primarily to the Equipment Rental and Reserve
(ER&R) account unless the equipment/vehicle was owned directly by an individual department.
Recommendation:
Conduct a public hearing, consider comments, and as appropriate, approve the Resolution to
Declare Certain County Equipment as Surplus and Sell Surplus Property.
