Red Hook authorizes auction of surplus highway equipment; one item held for Tivoli
Summary
The Town Board authorized public auction of surplus highway equipment (Resolution No. 18) with an auction commission limit of 10 percent; one item was removed from the list because the Village of Tivoli requested to acquire it as a backup for the town.
The Town of Red Hook Town Board on Feb. 26 approved Resolution No. 18 authorizing the sale of surplus highway equipment identified by the highway superintendent and recommended for public auction. The town's standard procurement and disposition procedures apply.
During the discussion the board said one item had been removed from the auction list because the Village of Tivoli expressed interest in acquiring it. The board recorded that the town could sell that specific item to Tivoli with a caveat that the town retain backup access to the asset if needed.
The resolution directs disposition of the surplus items through a public auction house and limits the auctioneer's commission to not exceed 10 percent. A town official moved the resolution and it passed on a voice vote recorded in the transcript as "Aye." The meeting record does not contain a roll‑call vote or named vote tallies.
The board noted that all acquisitions and disposals follow the town's procurement procedures.
