Yelm council declares three older police vehicles surplus and authorizes their sale

Summary
Council approved resolution 668 declaring three older police vehicles surplus and authorizing sale through Enterprise, with proceeds to return to the equipment replacement fund to help buy future vehicles.
City staff reported that three older police vehicles—replaced as part of the department’s rotation—are no longer serviceable and recommended declaring them surplus and authorizing sale through Enterprise. Staff said the vehicles will be stripped of equipment and auctioned; proceeds will return to the ER&R fund to help purchase replacement vehicles.
“We have three police vehicles… these are the older ones. They are being replaced. They're of no use. We'll take everything off so we can take it down, and then we'll sell it through Enterprise,” staff explained, noting that returning sale proceeds to the equipment fund provides better value for taxpayers than past local auctions.
Councilor Richardson moved to approve resolution 668 declaring the specified city‑owned property surplus and authorizing its sale; the motion was seconded and the council voted aye. The motion carried and staff may proceed with the surplus and sale process.
