Council declares four sanitation trucks surplus and authorizes trade‑in for fleet procurement

The Pocatello City Council on Oct. 19 declared four sanitation/refuse trucks as surplus property and authorized their trade‑in as part of the remaining FY2025 sanitation fleet procurement, consistent with the city’s rate study.

City staff recommended declaring the vehicles surplus and trading them in as part of procurement for replacement vehicles. Council Member Mangum moved to approve the declaration of surplus property for the sanitation department and to authorize the mayor’s signature on applicable documents subject to legal review; Council Member Paulson seconded. The motion passed on a roll call vote.

Staff said the trade‑in is part of implementing the sanitation fleet procurement plan developed for FY2025; specific financial details of the trade‑in and replacement procurement were not discussed in depth at the meeting.
