In their last meeting of 2019, Miami County Commissioners approved a request from the county appraiser’s office to seek bids to replace two vehicles for the reappraisal department.
Vehicles to be replaced include a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox that was totaled in an accident earlier in 2019, and a 2002 Chevrolet Blazer that is experiencing multiple mechanical issues. In his report, county appraiser Justin Eimers said an inspection of the Blazer by workers at the county’s road and bridge department shop indicated the repairs would not be cost effective. Eimers reported the county has received $24,064.50 in an insurance settlement for the totaled Equinox. The remaining cost to replace the vehicle would come from the reappraisal equipment fund. Eimers estimated the combined budget expense for both vehicles would be $58,000.
