EYE ON JEFFERSON: County commissioners to conduct hearing on surplus property Monday

The three Jefferson County commissioners will conduct a public hearing on the disposal of surplus property when they meet Monday.

The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. in commissioners’ chambers at the Jefferson County Courthouse, 1820 Jefferson St., Port Townsend.

Proposed surplus property includes equipment from several county departments including solid waste, public works, roads and parks, and the Sheriff’s Office.

The items are expected to be put up for auction, with minimal revenue expected.
