Council declares surplus of obsolete water meters and approves sale process
Summary
The council declared a set of obsolete water meters surplus and authorized disposal via sealed bids (Purple Wave) with private-sale fallback; staff said meters are essentially junk and described advertising and removal requirements.
The council voted to declare a set of obsolete water meters surplus and authorized staff to advertise the sale via sealed bids. Staff member (S4) said the meters are largely unusable for refurbishing and described using Purple Wave for sealed bids with a private-sale fallback if there are no bidders. "They're essentially they're just junk at this point," Staff member (S4) said while explaining options for disposition.
The motion included creating a surplus appraisal board and advertising sealed bids twice; bidders must remove items at their expense. The council approved the motion by roll call and volunteers agreed to serve on the appraisal board. Staff will prepare surplus forms and the city will proceed with the sealed-bid process as described.
