Versailles council approves sale of surplus equipment; designates bank for MetLife dividends
Summary
Council approved Resolution No. 25-24 authorizing sale of vehicles and equipment and approved Resolution No. 25-31 designating Greenville National Bank for direct deposit of MetLife dividend/proceed payments; both measures passed unanimously on June 11.
At its June 11 meeting the Versailles Village Council approved Resolution No. 25-24, authorizing the sale of vehicles and equipment the village determined were no longer needed for municipal purposes, and also approved Resolution No. 25-31, designating Greenville National Bank as the depository for direct deposit of dividend and/or proceed payments for MetLife stock owned by the Village of Versailles.
Attorney Tom Guillozet read Resolution No. 25-24 by title on its third reading; Mr. Steinbrunner moved to approve the resolution, Mr. Weaver seconded, and the council voted "all yeas." The resolution authorizes sale of specified surplus vehicles and equipment; administrative reporting at the meeting noted a natural-gas-fired standby generator recently sold on GovDeals for $5,600 and a 2011 Case backhoe sold for $33,100. A 2012 F-250 pickup was noted as currently on auction with bidding open until June 18, 2025 at 4 p.m.
For Resolution No. 25-31, Mr. Paulus moved to declare the resolution an emergency, suspend the rules and have it read by title only for second and third readings; Mrs. Dieringer seconded and the motion carried by unanimous vote. The resolution was read a second and third time, and Mr. Steinbrunner moved to approve it, seconded by Mrs. Dieringer; vote: all yeas. The resolution designates Greenville National Bank to receive the village’s MetLife dividend/proceed direct deposits; the text also declared the matter an emergency, prompting the suspension of normal reading rules at the meeting.
The council recorded unanimous votes on both approvals; no council member opposing votes were recorded. The meeting did not enumerate specific terms of sale for every item beyond the examples provided in the administrative report. Any additional surplus disposals or auction outcomes will be handled through the village’s established auction processes and future council action as needed.
The actions were conducted in open session and recorded in the meeting minutes.
