Council declares 1990 Ford fire truck surplus and authorizes disposal
Summary
The Glasgow City Council approved on first reading a resolution declaring a 1990 Ford fire truck surplus because it is outdated and has a bad pump; the fire chief said the city will likely use Mills Auction to advertise and sell surplus equipment.
The Glasgow City Council approved on first reading a resolution declaring certain Glasgow Fire Department personal property surplus, including a 1990 Ford fire truck that is "no longer utilized due to a bad pump," the council record shows.
Rich Alexander read the resolution and cited KRS chapter 82 as the statutory authority for disposal. The resolution states the property is outdated and that the mayor is authorized to take any action necessary to carry out disposal under applicable statutory methods.
A council member asked whether the surplus items would be sold online. The fire chief responded that the city likely will reach out to Mills Auction to advertise and auction equipment and noted a recent surplus auction that included items from the Department of Public Works and the landfill.
With no further discussion, the chair called the question and the council approved the resolution on first reading by voice vote. The motion and second were recorded in the meeting record; individual vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
The resolution directs the mayor to execute disposal consistent with KRS chapter 82 and the methods described in the ordinance language; the record does not include a date for final disposal or the specific auction timeline.
