Quitman to surplus 2000 fire truck and police F-150; will list fire truck online for 60 days
Summary
The board declared an older 2000-model city fire truck and a police Ford F-150 surplus; members authorized listing the fire truck with Brindlee Mountain for an initial 60-day sale period and sending the drivable F-150 to JJ Merchant for sale.
The board approved surplussing a 2000-model city fire truck and a separate older Ford F-150 from the police fleet. Bradley McNiece described using Brindlee Mountain to list the fire truck online; county experience indicated higher returns under that platform, and the company suggested a starting listing period of 60 days. The board approved a 60-day listing and will consider offers and retain proceeds in a fund for future apparatus replacement.
For the police F-150, the board approved declaring it surplus and authorized staff to take the drivable vehicle to JJ Merchant for sale; the truck’s transmission requires an estimated $5,000–$6,000 rebuild and the truck was determined not worth that repair.
