Milton Council OKs Surplus of 2013 Ford Taurus from Police Fleet
Summary
The Milton City Council voted 7-0 to approve Resolution 25-1984 declaring a 2013 Ford Taurus from the police department obsolete and authorizing its disposal after major engine failure.
The Milton City Council on Feb. 3 approved Resolution 25-1984 to declare a 2013 Ford Taurus assigned to the police department obsolete and authorize its disposal.
Chief Hernandez told the council the vehicle suffered major engine failure and that replacing the long block was not cost-effective compared with the vehicle’s value. Council member Whelan moved to approve the resolution; council member Hall seconded. The council voted 7-0 to pass the resolution.
The motion and discussion focused on routine fleet management: officials said older vehicles can cost more to maintain than they are worth and that replacing aging units improves reliability. No dollar figures, proposed sale method, or disposal timetable were specified in the discussion.
The resolution was the only agenda item during the regular portion of the meeting and carried without additional conditions or amendments.
