Council approves surplus sales and disposals of city items including Cypress cabinet and equipment
Summary
Denham Springs council authorized sale of a Cypress cabinet (highest bid $210), declared assorted items surplus — including an HP Pavilion laptop and other equipment — and approved disposal of an old Brother cutter from the business license/inspector department.
The Denham Springs City Council on May 13 approved several surplus and disposal actions for city property, including awarding the highest bid of $210 for a Cypress cabinet from old City Hall and authorizing disposal or sale of various older assets.
The council recorded motions and unanimous votes to proceed with the sales and disposals listed on the agenda. Items identified included an HP Pavilion laptop (asset number 10619) assigned to Animal Control, a Brother cutter (model MFC- l3720pw, serial number provided) from the business licensing/inspector department, and other listed surplus items.
Why it matters: Municipalities periodically declare assets surplus to clear storage, recoup modest revenue through auction/sale and remove equipment that is worn out or obsolete.
Details: The agenda listed the highest bid of $210 for a specific Cypress cabinet and provided asset numbers or serial numbers for electronic devices to be surplused or disposed. Council recorded the required motions and votes to approve the sales and disposals; staff will complete administrative steps to remove the assets from inventory and to process any proceeds.
Next steps: Finance and the responsible departments will finalize the sales paperwork, remove the assets from inventory records and schedule disposal or transfer as appropriate.
