Committee approves auctioning surplus public-works equipment; proceeds to fund new gear
Summary
Committee authorized the sale of two man lifts and an old forklift as surplus and directed that proceeds be applied to future equipment purchases for public works.
Public works staff reported that several pieces of equipment at the acquired facility at 2101 O'Neil Road are surplus to the city’s needs and recommended auctioning them on a state surplus site. "Those items include 2 man lifts and an old forklift," staff said, and recommended applying sale proceeds toward purchasing updated equipment such as a scissor lift or an electric forklift for city use.
A committee member moved to approve the sale of the surplus equipment and to apply funds received to future equipment purchases for public works and city staff; another member seconded the motion. The chair called the vote and the motion passed.
Staff estimated sale proceeds could total roughly $5,000 to $7,000 depending on market demand and shipping costs; the committee discussed the possibility of combining resources with other departments to purchase a shared scissor lift.
