$910,947.04.
2. Resolution No. 11-335 Amending resolutions to include automatic deposit
numbers that were omitted on various resolutions.
Chairman Averill stated this approves amended warrant resolutions due to scrivener’s
errors in miscellaneous resolutions relative to automatic deposit data for payroll on
2
various resolutions. This amends RES 11-033 (422 auto deposits), 11-216 (423 auto
deposits). 11-265 (424 auto deposits), and 11-294 (422 auto deposits).
3. Resolution No. 11-336 Declaration of surplus property.
Michael Strozyk, Director of Central Services, stated this Resolution declares surplus
property and authorizes disposal as allowed under Lewis County Code Chapter 3.30,
Management and Disposition of Property. Every quarter, or as needed, we provided a
list of items that have been declared surplus or are no longer needed by Lewis County.
Some of the items included on this list are 80 public safety radios, 14 none ER&R
vehicles or heavy equipment items, 1 Generator, two office desks, 3 office chairs, 400+
folding chairs, 221 non folding metal chairs, 4 filing cabinets, a conference table, a
paper folder, storage cabinet, 2 copiers, 70 computers, 39 monitors, and numerous
toner and ink cartridges. This Resolution will allow us to declare this property surplus
and dispose of it in the most efficient manner. Those items that have no value will be
destroyed, we do use an only auction site for some of the items, and we also continue
to donate to 501c3 that qualify under Lewis County Code 3.30.
4. Resolution No. 11-337 Bid award for the Coroner Evidence Building Roof
Replacement Project.
Michael Strozyk, Director of Central Services, stated four years ago we did a
remodel on the old PUD meter building that we own on Front Street. As part of that
remodel a new roof was put on a portion of the building, half of the building had a
substantial roof that we figured we would get about five years of life out of it. Instead of
five years we have gotten about four years out of that roof. This is a bid award to
Scholten Roofing, Lynden, WA in the amount of $44,840.00 to put a new membrane
roof on the remainder of the Coroners Evidence Building. This went out on the small
works bid roster and due to the fact that it is over $40,000.00 we are bringing it before
the Board for approval.
5. Resolution No. 11-338 In the matter of the proposed sale of surplus property at
411 Mineral Creek Road, Mineral Washington.
Larry Unzelman, Public Works, stated the county acquired property located at 411
Mineral Creek Road, Mineral as a means of settling a claim for damages with the
property owner. Said property owner’s claim alleged that the county’s bridge project put
this property in harm’s way due to stream channel movement. There is no apparent
county need for the property. The property is improved with a home that will be a
liability for the county to maintain. It is the county’s intent to resell the property after
placing strong disclosure language on the deed to make potential new owners aware of
the reason the county acquired the property. This resolution instructs the Public Works
Department to examine and appraise the property to determine a minimum bid amount
and report back to the Board of County Commissioners.
