Council authorizes auction of surplus equipment under Resolution 25-10
Summary
By roll call, the council approved Resolution 25-10 to declare identified equipment surplus and authorize sale via an online auction platform; staff noted past auction receipts vary by market and some items may be scrapped if unsold.
The Lancaster City Council voted to authorize the sale of surplus equipment, approving Resolution 25-10 after brief discussion about market value and disposal options.
Staff described the inventory of items the departments recommended for sale, and explained the city plans to use an online auction platform (identified in the discussion as Godeal.com) to dispose of surplus vehicles and equipment. Staff noted examples from past sales where heavy equipment drew out-of-state buyers and that some older items may be cannibalized for parts or scrapped depending on market demand.
The chair moved the authorization and a council member seconded. Roll-call votes recorded 'Yes' responses from the following council members as the motion passed: Council member Harris; Council member Marsh; Council member Miller; Council member Sall; and Mayor DeBeney.
The resolution directs staff to prepare the listed assets for auction and to place them on the designated auction site; staff will return with any items for which disposal is not feasible or that require bundling to maximize sale value.
