Council OKs surplus designation for two older police vehicles
Summary
The Town of Sellersburg approved ordinance 2025-OR-1 to declare two police vehicles surplus so they can be traded toward replacements.
The Town of Sellersburg Town Council on Jan. 27 approved Ordinance 2025-OR-1 declaring two police department vehicles surplus and authorizing their sale or trade toward replacement vehicles.
Assistant Chief Matt Adams told the council the department routinely replaces high-mileage vehicles and identified a 2019 Dodge Charger with about 89,000 miles and a 2020 Dodge Durango with just over 90,000 miles as the units proposed for trade. Adams said both vehicles are out of warranty and beginning to show mechanical issues.
Councilman Randy moved to approve the ordinance granting the chief of police authority to sell or trade the listed vehicles; Councilman Terry seconded the motion. The council also voted to waive the ordinance's second reading and approved final passage that night.
The ordinance describes disposal consistent with Indiana law and grants the police chief or town manager authority to execute the sale or trade. The council did not specify the expected trade-in value or timetable for replacement vehicles during the meeting.
