Council approves first reading, waives second reading to sell surplus rescue equipment and 2013 Chevrolet Bolt

Delaney, Ill. — The Delaney City Council held and approved the first reading of an ordinance authorizing the sale of surplus municipal personal property, specifically listing extrication tools and a 2013 Chevrolet Bolt (item 25CDash0320). The council voted to waive the second reading at the same meeting.

Why it matters: Disposing of surplus equipment can recover modest funds for the city and remove items no longer needed for municipal service. The items listed included rescue/extrication tools and a 2013 Chevrolet Bolt vehicle used in municipal service.

What occurred: A motion was made to approve the ordinance authorizing sale of the listed municipal property and to waive the second reading; the council carried the motion on roll-call vote. The mover is recorded in the transcript as Jerry Dressler (who spoke and made the motion); a second was recorded and the motion passed.

Procedure and next steps: City staff will proceed with the disposition process per municipal policy for surplus property sales; the city clerk will record the final sale details once completed. No sale prices or sale processes (auction, sealed bid, direct sale) were announced during the public portion of the meeting.

Public note: Residents may contact the city clerk’s office for details on the surplus-sale process or to request information on listed items.
