Council declares two mowers and street sweeper surplus, sets auction terms
Summary
The council voted to surplus two aging lawnmowers and a street sweeper and set an auction starting bid of $1.50 and $20.25 bid increments; the sale will run for 30 days under the city's standard process.
The council reviewed three pieces of municipal equipment — a 2007 mower with a failed hydrostatic drive, another mower with a seized engine, and an older street sweeper that did not perform as expected — and voted to declare the items surplus and put them up for auction. A motion set starting bids at $1.50 with $20.25 increments and directed staff to run the auction for the city's regular 30-day period.
Councilmembers discussed the condition of the equipment and noted repair costs would likely exceed replacement; one member said the sweepers and older mowers are 'really old' and unlikely to be cost-effective to retain. The motion carried unanimously.
