Canby approves purchase of larger rescue trailer; sale of old trailer to be advertised
Summary
Council authorized purchase of a larger rescue trailer (2020 8.5x20' plus v-nose) from Renville Sales (list price $8,650.00) and allowed the city to advertise the existing trailer for sale, contingent on equipment documentation and funds flow through the city.
Derrick Ruether told the council the trailer recently purchased does not accommodate all rescue equipment and the department is seeking a larger enclosed trailer. The council authorized purchase of a 2020 8.5x20' plus v-nose enclosed trailer from Renville Sales at a list price of $8,650.00 and permitted advertising of the existing trailer for sale, with proceeds and required documentation to be processed through the city.
In discussion, the record notes: "the trailer that was recently purchased does not fit all their rescue equipment, so they want something larger to accommodate the equipment." The motion to approve the purchase was contingent on prior equipment documentation and submission of funds to the city before completing the sale of the old asset. The vote was unanimous.
The council did not provide vendor financing details or specify how surplus proceeds from the old trailer would be earmarked beyond routing funds through city accounts.
