Council amends surplus resolution, approves two police vehicles and a K‑9 cage for surplus
Summary
After discussion about internal reuse versus auction, council approved surplusing a 2018 Ford Explorer and a 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe (seized vehicle) and separately approved surplusing an All American K‑9 cage; council agreed to hold one pickup truck for departmental use.
Council considered a resolution to surplus three police vehicles — a 2018 Ford Explorer, a 2019 Chevy Silverado and a 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe that had been seized — and separately discussed surplusing an All American K‑9 cage that fits a Chevy Tahoe. Members debated whether some vehicles could be reallocated to other city departments rather than auctioned.
Following discussion about vehicle condition and a long‑standing vehicle rotation program, the council amended the resolution to surplus two vehicles (the Explorer and the Tahoe) and retain one pickup for departmental use. The motion to approve resolution number 20203 to surplus the two vehicles carried by voice vote. The council separately approved surplusing the K‑9 cage (resolution 2026‑24) on a subsequent motion and vote.
A councilmember asked that staff consider transferring vehicles to departments when feasible; staff said surplus typically means the vehicle goes to auction but internal transfers could be explored prior to disposition.
