Centerville council agrees to solicit sealed bids for police-department bucket truck after resident request
Summary
A resident asked the council to have the town's bucket truck stationed at the police department; the council voted unanimously to pursue sealed bids for the vehicle, with no price or timeline specified in the meeting record.
During the Nov. 10 Centerville Town Council meeting resident James Ausmus asked that the town bucket truck be parked at the Police Department. Council members agreed to the request and authorized pursuing sealed bids for the vehicle.
Vice President Gary Holbert moved to pursue sealed bids for the bucket truck; the motion was seconded by Council Member Jack Bodiker and carried 4 ayes, 0 nays. The transcript does not record a reserve price, appraisal, timeline for bids, or a designated official to manage the sale; council direction was limited to approving the sealed-bid route.
Sarah Rice, Clerk-Treasurer, and the town attorney were present for the meeting. The council did not specify how proceeds, if any, would be allocated. The clerk's office is the likely point of contact for procurement notices and bid specifications; the transcript records a follow-up task to prepare bid specifications but does not provide a deadline.
The council also handled routine approvals and advanced Ordinance 2025-09 to a second reading earlier in the meeting.
