BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date: N/A
Background: The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) contacted BRATS on June 9, 2020, regarding a 1994 Dodge B350 van in the possession of the Town of Newton. The Town is attempting to dispose of the vehicle and in the process has found that the vehicle title is still in the Baldwin County Commission’s name. It is presumed that this vehicle was purchased and used by BRATS and then transferred by the Baldwin County Commission to the Town of Newton in the late 90s, but no record of the vehicle or the transfer can be found.
The Town of Newton would like to complete the formal disposition process. To accomplish this, ALDOT has sent the title to the Baldwin County Commission and is requesting that the Commission sign and return to ALDOT so that the Town of Newton can retitle and properly dispose.
