Intergovernmental committee sets up second reading of resolution to sell surplus city property online
Summary
Chair Babbitt presented Resolution 2024‑R61, a second‑reading item to authorize the City of Green to dispose of unneeded property via employee purchase, public auction or online vendor under Ohio Revised Code §721.15; staff said proceeds generally return to the general fund and the likely auction date is early November.
The Intergovernmental and Utilities Committee on Oct. 8 considered Resolution 2024‑R61, authorizing the City of Green to dispose of unneeded equipment and property by sale to employees, public auction, or through an online service pursuant to Ohio Revised Code section 721.15 and prior local resolution.
Valerie Waxcar, staff, explained that the city typically runs surplus auctions online through a vendor (Keiko was mentioned) and that the exhibit attached to the legislation lists the items to be disposed. She said a date has not been set but that staff expects the sale to be in early November (often just before Thanksgiving) and that proceeds generally go back into the general fund though some departmental funds (for example, fire/ambulance funds) may receive proceeds associated with their equipment.
Committee members asked whether employees have a separate purchase system; Waxcar said employees may buy through the same online auction and are not excluded but must follow the same process. The committee indicated comfort moving forward with second‑reading passage and the chair said she would make the appropriate motions during the regular meeting.
