Board declares vehicle and equipment surplus after inspection finds frame rust
Summary
Public works told trustees a building-division vehicle showed frame corrosion and was deemed unsafe; the board approved an ordinance to remove and auction the vehicle and two pieces of unused equipment, waiving the second reading.
Public works asked the board to declare a vehicle (assigned to the building division) and two pieces of equipment surplus after mechanics found the vehicle's frame had "rusted through" and declared it unsafe. Staff said the equipment is no longer used and that the items would be removed from inventory and auctioned.
The board approved the ordinance and waived the second reading so the items can be disposed of; staff said they will look at reallocating existing fleet vehicles and potential hand-me-downs from the police department to fill critical needs rather than immediately replacing the vehicle.
