Summary
The Service Committee voted 5‑0 to send Resolution 26‑25 to full council, authorizing the director of public service to accept bids and sell surplus municipal property at an auction scheduled for June 6 and invoking the emergency clause to meet timing requirements.
The Newark Service Committee unanimously voted to forward Resolution 26‑25 to the full council, a measure authorizing the director of public service to accept bids and sell surplus municipal property and declaring that the items are no longer needed for municipal purposes.
Director Rhodes said the city will hold an auction at the service complex on June 6 to sell vehicles and miscellaneous items and that the emergency clause is requested to meet timing requirements for the sale. "If you've never been down to one of our auctions, we can invite you down," Rhodes said, explaining the need to move quickly to satisfy sale timelines.
The committee moved and seconded the measure and approved it 5‑0 to send to full council for final action. No public comment or detailed inventory was provided during the committee discussion; Rhodes described the auction in general terms.
The resolution now goes to the full Newark City Council where councilors will vote on the authorization and the emergency clause.
