Council approves posting city surplus equipment on GovDeals
Summary
Council authorized staff to list several retired city vehicles and equipment on GovDeals, including park trucks, street brine units, a pavement roller, water-department items and a zoning vehicle; items will be posted for public sale.
The Sylvania City Council on May 5 voted to allow staff to post a list of retired city vehicles and equipment on the GovDeals online auction platform.
Service Director Shaw described the items as replacements from this year's budget and listed parks department trucks, two street brine units, a pavement roller, a 1977 arc welder and other items from the water and zoning departments. Shaw said some equipment (brine units) requires specialized hydraulics and may only suit specific buyers.
A council motion (mover not recorded by name in the transcript) authorized posting the items to GovDeals and the motion carried with an aye vote. Council will monitor sale results and proceeds will be returned to the city according to standard surplus-equipment procedures.
Details: The pavement roller and brine units were replaced in this year's fleet plan; the arc welder (1977) and other misc items were listed for disposal. Staff will coordinate photos, descriptions and reserve prices on GovDeals as appropriate.
