Wadsworth council committee backs resolution to sell surplus city property via internet auction
Summary
A Committee of the Whole/Finance resolution would let the Director of Public Service sell obsolete vehicles and equipment by consignment internet auction with the Royal Auction Group; council text sets minimum‑price authority, ten‑day bidding windows and publication requirements. No vote outcome recorded in the agenda packet.
Wadsworth’s Committee of the Whole/Finance reviewed a resolution authorizing the Director of Public Service to sell unneeded or obsolete city personal property — including motor vehicles, road machinery and equipment — by internet auction with the Royal Auction Group.
The resolution text says the city may ‘‘establish a minimum price that will be accepted for specific items’’ and provide auction terms online; it requires notice published twice in a newspaper of general circulation and continuous posting at the city auditor and council offices and on the city website. The packet includes an exhibit listing vehicles and equipment proposed for consignment, with VINs, department assignments and replacement reasons.
The ordinance-language resolution frames the measure as an emergency to allow sales during calendar year 2026. The committee packet does not record a formal vote tally or identify which specific items, if any, the council will resolve to sell at a future meeting.
