The council opened sealed bids for surplus municipal equipment and accepted the highest or only offers on multiple items.
Notable results: the 2017 Grasshopper Mower (Model 225, 2,718 hours) was sold to Mike Miller for $1,025.00; a 2005 Grasshopper Mower (Model 227, 5,825 hours) sold to Mark Traum for $275.00; a 2005 outdoor riding lawn mower sold for $192.99 after the council waived a $500 minimum; a 1990 Ford F-150 Super Duty boom truck (64,145 miles) sold to the Village of Thomson for $905.00; a Miller arc welder/generator sold to the Village of Thomson for $776.00 after the council waived the $1,000 minimum; and a Beuthling B-50 1-ton asphalt roller sold to the Village of Thomson for $376.00. Several items drew no bids and were designated for scrap.
Each acceptance was moved, seconded and carried by recorded vote (typically 5 yes, 1 absent). The council's decisions dispose of inventory and recover modest revenue for the city; staff will follow standard procedures to complete title transfers and receipts.
