Council approves IDOT intergovernmental maintenance agreement and sale/auction of surplus vehicles and equipment

Belleville City Council approved two related measures from the Streets and Grades committee: (1) an intergovernmental agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation for municipal maintenance of roadways under state jurisdiction in the amount of $103,966.80; and (2) authorization to dispose, sell or auction multiple vehicles and equipment from the streets, parks and sanitation departments, with specific VINs and equipment types listed in the ordinance.

Council discussion noted the Kerner House banner placement and the vehicles/IGA items were presented from the committee. The IGA amount read in the record was $103,966.80. The sale/auction item described a long list of surplus vehicles and equipment (including multiple GMC and Ford pickup trucks, an International truck, John Deere mowers, western snow plows, salt spreaders and other attachments) with VINs read into the ordinance; the record said the VIN numbers would be found in the ordinance itself. The council approved the motions by roll call.

The transcript does not list resale methods, minimum bid amounts, or timing for the auctions beyond authorizing disposal and sale. Staff indicated VINs and equipment details are in the ordinance, which will govern the sale process.
