Northmoor mayor seeks approval to sell police Durango; alderman suggests bidding equipment
Summary
Mayor Lynda Wilson asked the board to approve selling a police Dodge Durango at Kelley Blue Book value of $17,500; Alderman Joe Harris recommended inventorying and putting department equipment out for bid.
Mayor Lynda Wilson raised the cost of maintaining the police department's Dodge Durango and asked the board to approve selling the vehicle. She proposed offering the Durango at Kelley Blue Book value of $17,500. Alderman Joe Harris suggested compiling a list of police equipment and selling items via public bid.
The board discussed the approach but did not record a formal vote to sell the vehicle during the Nov. 5 meeting. No purchaser or sale timeline was presented; the topic was recorded as a discussion item and potential direction to staff to prepare a bid list for equipment.
The exchange indicated the city is considering asset disposition to reduce operating costs for the police department, but any sale will require a formal motion and vote in a future meeting or as permitted by procurement requirements.
