Board approves sale of an older ambulance to Morris Hill with Resolution 2026-7
Summary
The Board of Works approved Resolution 2026-7 on June 15 authorizing the sale of an older city ambulance to Morris Hill Fire Department; the city attorney said a municipality-to-municipality sale permits a negotiated price and no public bid.
The Lawrenceburg Board of Works voted June 15 to approve Resolution No. 2026-7 to sell an older city ambulance to Morris Hill Fire Department.
Chief Myers told the board the city has a new ambulance on order expected in August and plans to reduce its fleet from three vehicles to two. Morris Hill experienced a catastrophic ambulance failure and requested to purchase one of Lawrenceburg’s older ambulances sooner than the city had planned; Chief Myers said he and Mayor Kelly Milan agreed on what he considered a fair market price and asked permission to complete the sale.
City attorney Dale Weldon told the board a municipality‑to‑municipality sale can be done without public bidding if both municipalities pass matching resolutions and cited the statutory basis in the circulated resolution. The board moved and seconded approval of Resolution 2026-7. During the roll call a member said, "I opposed," but the motion carried and the resolution was approved.
No further sale price or purchaser financing details were recorded on the meeting record beyond Chief Myers’s statement that the mayor and he agreed on a fair value. The resolution authorizes staff to proceed with the intermunicipal sale.
