Commission discusses declaring small remote‑control tug surplus; motion made, no vote recorded
Summary
Commissioners discussed declaring a 2017 remote‑control aircraft tug surplus, debated keeping it for future hangar operations, and a commissioner moved to declare the tug surplus and authorize staff to liquidate it by sealed bid; the provided transcript records the motion but no recorded vote.
Commissioners reviewed an agenda item to declare a small remote‑control tug, purchased in 2017, as surplus and to authorize staff to liquidate it. Staff described limited airport use of the device and suggested surplus via sealed bid if it would not be used by airport staff.
A commissioner moved to declare the tug surplus and to authorize city staff to liquidate it by sealed bid; the speaker noted the tug is capable of towing an airplane up to 3,500 pounds but said staff had no preference. The transcript records, "I'll make a motion to declare it to surplus on the city staff to liquidate met with seal," and subsequent discussion about hangar needs and equipment capability followed.
Commissioners debated whether the city should retain the unit for future shared hangar operations or sell it and then purchase a larger, more capable tow device when a larger hangar is built. The meeting record supplied does not include a roll‑call or chair announcement of a vote on the motion.
Because no vote tally or formal outcome appears in the provided transcript, the motion’s final disposition is not recorded here; staff were instructed to follow up and the commission moved on to an executive session later in the agenda.
