Buckley council declares two aging ambulances surplus
Summary
The council adopted Resolution 25-01 to declare two city-owned ambulances surplus after staff said repairs would exceed value and newer donations made one unit obsolete.
The Buckley City Council adopted Resolution 25-01 to declare two city-owned ambulances surplus at its regular meeting.
Chief Scogin told the council that one ambulance, a 2000 Ford six‑liter purchased by the city in February 2005, has had chronic problems and that a private shop estimated roughly $11,000 in repairs to restore it — an amount that exceeds the vehicle’s current value. The second unit, a 2001 ambulance the city purchased used for about $5,000 from Maple Valley roughly a decade ago, is now redundant after East Pierce Fire and Rescue began donating newer ambulances to nearby towns, Chief Scogin said.
Council members asked no substantive questions about the recommendation. A motion to approve Resolution 25‑01 declaring the listed vehicles surplus was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the motion carried but does not include a roll-call tally.
The resolution, as described in the meeting, lists the two ambulances for surplus disposition; council did not record further details about the intended method of disposal in the meeting transcript.
