Council authorizes disposal process for replaced fire engine
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2025‑11 authorizing disposal of an older fire engine replaced by a new apparatus; chief and treasurer will follow statutory disposal procedures and pursue auction or similar methods.
The Speedway Town Council unanimously approved Resolution 2025‑11 on July 14, authorizing disposition of a fire engine the department replaced after receiving a new apparatus last year.
Town court treasurer Philip (presenting) told the council that disposing of the replaced engine requires following statutory procedures. He asked the council to approve the resolution, which will give Fire Chief Fishburne authority to follow the required steps — including auction or other methods — to divest the asset and to remove it from insurance listings.
The motion passed 5‑0. Staff said the disposal process will follow statutory requirements and that proceeds from any sale or auction would be handled according to town policy for capital asset disposition.
