Council members discussed converting old marshal vehicles for civilian sale, keeping one for city use, and asked staff to prepare a report on timelines and auction logistics.
Council members discussed surplus marshal vehicles and the process for selling units no longer needed for city law enforcement.
Unidentified Speaker 1 said the proposal under consideration was to keep one vehicle for city use and convert the remainder for civilian sale by removing specialized equipment. "They're gonna sell the others, in an auction," the speaker said. The council asked staff to confirm timelines and steps required to prepare the vehicles for auction.
Unidentified Speaker 2 requested a staff report update: "Give me a staff report update on surplus vehicle auction." Unidentified Speaker 1 agreed to find out a timeline and provide that information at a future meeting. The council did not take a formal vote; it requested a staff report to be added as a staff update on a subsequent agenda.
The next step is for staff to provide a written report outlining which vehicles will be declared surplus, conversion steps to make vehicles fit for civilian use, estimated auction timing and any revenue estimates.
