Council directs legal counsel to draft resolution to surplus and transfer white helmet to Chief Dalton
Summary
The council authorized legal counsel to prepare a resolution to surplus a serial‑numbered white fire helmet — with sentimental value tied to the late Chief Metzger — so it may be presented to Chief Dalton.
The council authorized legal counsel on July 1 to prepare a resolution to surplus a serial‑numbered white fire helmet so it can be presented to Chief Dalton. The helmet was described at the meeting as having sentimental value because it had been given to Dalton by the late Chief Metzger and remains serviceable for several years.
Jordan explained the helmet’s provenance and asked whether the council would allow surplusing and formal transfer to Chief Dalton. Legal counsel advised that because the item is serialized, a resolution is typically used to authorize surplus and transfer. A motion to have legal counsel prepare the resolution was moved, seconded and approved 5‑0.
Outcome: Council voted to have legal counsel draft a surplus resolution for consideration at a subsequent meeting; no transfer occurred at the July 1 meeting.
