The council considered Resolution 5-63 to declare a city pickup (identified as a 1997 model in the updated packet) surplus and set sale parameters. Staff reported the truck had a 2021 repair — including a head gasket job costing roughly $3,000 — and provided a suggested minimum bid range; after discussion the council set the minimum bid at $1,200 and approved the resolution.
Members discussed logistics for a public notice and inspection period: running an ad in the local Highway 58 Herald (estimated cost about $50), keeping the truck on site for inspection, and arranging scheduled test drives with a staff or council escort.
