Council approves sale of seized 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt; proceeds to police asset fund
Summary
The Shepherdsville City Council approved a municipal order declaring a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt surplus and authorizing its sale by electronic auction; proceeds will go to the police department's state asset fund.
The Shepherdsville City Council approved Municipal Order 25-001 on Jan. 13, declaring a seized 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt surplus and authorizing its sale by electronic auction, with proceeds directed to the Shepherdsville Police Department's state asset fund.
The municipal order describes the vehicle by VIN and states the car was seized under Bullitt Circuit Court case No. 21CR00218 and forfeited to the police department on an agreed order dated March 11, 2022. The order cites KRS 82.083 and KRS 218A.420 as the statutory bases for disposition and forfeiture procedures.
Section 5 of the municipal order directs that the vehicle be sold by electronic auction on GovDeals.com following the required public-notice publication; Section 6 requires transfer of sale proceeds to the police department's state asset fund account.
Council members moved to approve the municipal order, made minor clerical corrections to the adoption date during the meeting, and then voted. The roll call recorded "Rob: yes; Brad: yes; Bonnie: yes; Babe: yes; Jennifer: yes; Mike: yes." Staff said they would finalize corrections and complete the auction listing.
No further debate or amendments were recorded on the municipal order; staff and the mayor said the police department no longer needed the vehicle due to mileage, age and wear and tear.
