Council to consider disposal of aged city vehicles, equipment and surplus solar panels
Summary
Resolution 36 authorizes disposal of city-owned personal property that has exhausted useful life, including older fire bureau vehicles, trailers and a block of solar panels and inverters; council moved the resolution to the legislative agenda.
Resolution 36 of 2025 would approve disposal of certain city-owned personal property that has exhausted its useful life. The public-works and fire departments presented lists of vehicles and equipment for disposition and noted that many items are obsolete or inefficient.
Exhibit B (as discussed at the work session) listed items the bureaus requested to dispose of, among them several older trailers (1994 and 1997 models), a 2009 Chevrolet 3500 truck with plow, a 2003 Chevy Suburban and a 2004 Chevy Tahoe cited as past their useful life for fire operations. Public Works also noted there are 4,108 solar panels and four central inverters removed from a prior project stored on Susquehanna Township property; staff said those panels and inverters are included in the disposition request and were scheduled to be removed by April 30.
Council members asked about disposal method; staff said the items will be offered through public auction (GovDeals or similar) rather than being discarded, and that sale proceeds would go to the appropriate city account. The resolution was placed on the next legislative agenda for formal consideration.
