Board authorizes auction, then scrap, for aging DPW forklift
Summary
Village trustees authorized the DPW to list an old, barely operable forklift for auction with a $1,000 minimum bid and to scrap the unit if it does not sell.
The board authorized the disposal of a Department of Public Works forklift that is near the end of its useful life. Staff said the forklift is "barely" operable and decades old; they plan to offer the unit at auction with a $1,000 minimum bid and, if unsold, to scrap it for metal value.
Board members supported the plan, noting the municipality purchased new equipment (a front-end loader with forks) to replace tasks previously performed by the forklift. The disposal motion passed by voice vote with no opposition recorded.
