Court tables decision on sending four sheriff’s vehicles to Purple Wave auction
Sheriff’s staff requested permission from the court to send four surplus patrol vehicles to an online auction (Purple Wave). The request included four Tahoes, one of which carried a K9 unit and one noted as a 2020 model with 118,627 miles. County staff asked that mileages and vehicle conditions be compiled before the vehicles are auctioned.

Commissioners discussed whether any of the vehicles should be transferred between departments first and whether to move the vehicles to a centralized location for inspection. Because the list of vehicles, mileages and planned departmental transfers had not been finalized, the court voted to table the auction item until staff could present a complete inventory and the proposed transfers.

Ending: The court directed the sheriff and county staff to provide a vehicle inventory with mileages and recommended transfer plan before bringing an auction authorization back to the commissioners’ court.
