Council approves surplus sale of dive-team equipment
Summary
The council approved a motion to surplus and sell dive-team equipment that the town no longer needs, after a brief discussion about service needs and equipment condition.
The council approved a request from the fire department to surplus and sell dive-team equipment no longer needed by the town.
The nut graf: the fire chief described the equipment as surplus to local needs because the town no longer maintains an active dive team for frequent dives; the council voted to approve the surplus sale so the equipment can be sold and proceeds returned to town accounts.
The chief said the department continues to perform surface-water rescues but no longer maintains full dive operations; the surplus items include mass tanks and other dive-specific gear. Councilor Plauter moved to approve the surplus sale; Councilor Beal seconded the motion. The council voted by voice and the motion carried.
Councilors noted some equipment had been donated in previous years and that the department retains cold-water suits and other items for surface rescue operations.
