Erlanger council approves municipal order to surplus equipment; blowers and weed eaters to be traded, printer and plotter to be auctioned
Summary
The council adopted a municipal order declaring two weed eaters, two blowers, a Jet digital printer and a plotter surplus; blowers and weed eaters will be traded for new equipment and the printer/plotter will be sold by electronic auction. Council adopted the order by voice vote.
The Erlanger City Council on April 1 adopted a municipal order declaring several Public Works items surplus and authorizing their sale or trade.
The order lists two weed eaters, two blowers, a Jet digital printer and a mulch value plotter as surplus due to age and condition. The meeting record states the blowers and weed eaters will be traded for new equipment and the printer and plotter will be sold via electronic auction.
During the reading the order cited a statutory reference as read in the meeting: “CARES 82083.” The council adopted the municipal order by voice vote; the transcript records the mayor asking for “All in favor, say aye” and the clerk responding “Aye,” followed by “Opposed? Motion carried.” No roll-call tally was provided on the public transcript.
Why it matters: Declaring equipment surplus and disposing of it by trade or auction enables the city to refresh Public Works tools and recoup value for older items. The order was adopted in a single voice vote with no recorded dissent.
Votes at a glance: The municipal order to surplus equipment was adopted by voice vote; the meeting transcript does not list a roll-call tally for that motion.
