Board considers resolution letting town manager sell surplus personal property under $30,000
Summary
Officials reviewed a proposed resolution authorizing the town manager to dispose of surplus personal property valued under $30,000, discussed sealed vs. submitted bids, and recorded a motion to adopt the resolution language currently before the board.
Town manager presented a proposed resolution that would delegate authority to the town manager to dispose of surplus personal property valued at $30,000 or less. The manager said legal counsel reviewed the resolution language and described examples of surplus items—an old tractor, a car, and miscellaneous equipment—that could be sold through bids or auction.
Board members asked about the process for determining who receives surplus items and whether sealed bids were required. The manager said the resolution allows disposal by means the manager deems reasonably calculated to yield the highest attainable sale price, which could include bids or other methods; members discussed using submitted bids rather than a strict sealed‑bid process.
A motion was made to pass the resolution regarding personal property valued under $30,000. The transcript records a motion from Speaker 9 to adopt a resolution concerning personal property under $30,000; a second was acknowledged but names and a formal recorded vote were not included in the available segments.
The manager said staff will prepare procedures for auction or sale and will follow the resolution language and counsel’s guidance before disposing of any assets.
