Lafayette City board approves surplus of 62 Dell and other computers for online sale
Summary
Purchasing manager Dave Payne told the board the IT department wants to surplus 62 Dell Optiplex computers, four HP computers and one monitor so the items can be sold on GovDeals; the board approved the declaration by voice vote. Mover/second and roll-call tallies were not specified in the transcript.
Dave Payne, purchasing manager, told the Lafayette City board that the IT department has "62 Dell Optiplex computers, four HP computers, and one monitor" it wants declared surplus so the items can be sold on GovDeals.
The declaration of surplus drew a motion from a committee member and a second; the chair called for a voice vote and recorded the outcome as in the affirmative. The transcript does not record who moved or seconded the motion, nor does it include a roll-call tally.
Why it matters: Declaring equipment surplus lets the city dispose of or sell older hardware and can recover funds or reduce storage costs. The board did not discuss estimated proceeds, the timing of the sale, or whether any items would be retained for backup or redistribution.
The board took the item under new business, voted to approve the declaration, and moved on to claims and other routine items. No public comment or staff presentation beyond Payne’s brief description occurred during this segment.
The meeting record shows a voice vote; minutes or a future meeting packet may provide additional documentation on the surplus list and anticipated sale schedule.
