Title
CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 22-020, AUTHORIZING THE DISPOSITION OF VARIOUS SURPLUS CITY EQUIPMENT (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
In past years, the City has utilized auctioneer services to dispose surplus obsolete or worn-out equipment. The City's Public Works Department has several vehicles and equipment in need of auctioning. Vehicles 1290 and 1392 were declared total losses by the City's insurance vendor due to recent accidents. All other Public Works vehicles and equipment on the consignment forms are being auctioned due to age, obsolescence, or excessive maintenance/repair costs. The City's Transportation Division had utilized Bus 1190, a 2009 model year Thomas school bus, to transport participants of past permit trips and excursions. As nearly 13 years have passed since its purchase, essential parts for service and/or repair are hard to find, or no longer accessible through repair shops or other vendors.
