Salem council approves sale of one used parks truck
Summary
Council passed Ordinance 250401‑16 authorizing the parks director to advertise for bids and enter into a contract to sell one used 2004 Ford truck; no emergency clause was attached.
Salem City Council on April 1 passed Ordinance 250401‑16 authorizing the parks director to advertise for bids and enter into a contract for the sale of one used 2004 Ford truck.
Councilman Noll moved that the clerk read the ordinance by title only for passage. Mayor Dickey asked whether the item required immediate action because the ordinance does not include an emergency clause; staff replied there was no expressed rush beyond the parks department’s desire to sell the vehicle.
Mayor Dickey: “I have a question. Do they need this immediately? Because it doesn't have the emergency clause. Is there any rush?”
The ordinance passed on a roll‑call vote with all councilmembers present voting yes. The text read at the meeting identified the item as the sale of “one used 2004 Ford” (exact model details were not specified in the meeting record). The parks department will proceed to advertise for bids and complete the sale under the city’s normal contracting procedures.
