The Collegedale City Commission voted unanimously Jan. 6 to approve the sale of a Public Works Department lowboy trailer that commissioners said is no longer needed.

Commissioners said the trailer had served a purpose but was now surplus and should be removed from the city’s inventory. Mayor Lloyd said he was "really kind of embarrassed to see that we own that trailer" and commissioners moved to approve the sale without further conditions.

The approval came after a brief discussion and a roll-call vote in which Commissioners Baker, House and Johnson, Vice Mayor Sadler and Mayor Lloyd all voted yes. The motion and second were made during the meeting's new-business agenda item on equipment disposal.

The commission did not specify a buyer or sale price during the meeting; staff said the action was to take the asset off the city’s books. No additional directions to staff or follow-up tasks were recorded at the meeting.
