Council authorizes disposal of obsolete police equipment, limits light‑bar sales to law enforcement
Summary
Council authorized disposal of surplus police items including a light bar, trunk storage unit and obsolete parking meter heads and agreed the light bar sale should be restricted to law enforcement buyers to avoid public circulation of emergency lighting.
Council voted May 11 to authorize disposal of Village‑owned assets no longer needed, including a police car light bar, a police car trunk storage unit, and multiple obsolete and inoperable parking meter heads.
Councilmember Tim Rockey asked that the light bar be restricted for sale only to law enforcement buyers to prevent red‑and‑blue emergency lighting from circulating among the general public. Chief Dacek and Chief Administrator Jamieson confirmed that such restrictions could be applied. The motion to authorize disposal was made by Council President Angie DeBernardo, seconded by Rockey, and carried unanimously.
The minutes record the authorization but do not include further details about the disposal process, proceeds, or intended auction/transfer mechanism.
