Surry board authorizes relisting old firetruck at reduced price
Summary
The Select Board approved a motion allowing Fire Chief McLellan to advertise disposal of an older firetruck at $4,000 and encouraged broad advertising; a prior sale at $7,000 had been delayed pending new ladders.
The Surry Select Board voted April 15 to allow the fire chief to relist an older firetruck for sale at $4,000. Pat Kane moved to permit Chief McLellan to advertise the disposal at $4,000 and encouraged listing the vehicle beyond the usual garage marketplace; Nick Noddin seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The board said the truck had been approved for sale at a previous meeting for $7,000 but the listing was delayed while new ladders were awaited. Chief McLellan did not attend the meeting but requested the relisting; the board approved the authorization for relisting and broader outreach.
Why it matters: The action disposes of surplus equipment and adjusts the asking price to encourage sale. The board also signaled an intent to maximize exposure to potential buyers.
What’s next: Chief McLellan will advertise the truck for disposal; the board did not set a different reserve or require additional approvals at this meeting.
