Summary
Council approved consent items 9–11, which included fixed‑asset additions and disposals; a public commenter asked why certain vehicles were not previously added to the inventory and why 85 beach trash cans were advertised for sale before apparent commission approval.
The City Commission approved consent agenda items 9–11 on April 1 by unanimous voice vote. Items included a series of fixed‑asset adjustments: additions (vehicles) and disposals listed in backup materials.
Public comment: Dan Hurst spoke during public comment and asked why an item with apparent fiscal and inventory significance was placed on the consent agenda without greater public explanation. Hurst said some vehicles purchased in February 2023 were not added to the capital asset system and asked what safeguards ensure purchased assets are recorded. He also said an auction listing on bidera.com for 85 old beach garbage cans appeared to be live and asked why those items were advertised without formal commission approval recorded in the minutes, and whether past disposals showed sale dates and prices.
Staff and commissioners approved the consent items without further discussion during the meeting. Commissioners did not provide detailed answers to the public questions during the meeting; staff follow‑up was not specified in the public record beyond the motion approving consent items.
