HomeMy WebLinkAboutVIII-09 Declare Surplus Property and Authorize Sale (Pickup Trucks, Trash and Recycling Cans) City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Council Members
From: Ryan Stempski – Public Works Director/City Engineer
Date: September 5, 2023
Item: Declare Surplus Property and Authorize Sale
Council Action Requested:
The Council is requested to declare miscellaneous items from the Public Works Department as surplus
property and authorize these items for public sale.
Background Information:
The list of equipment below is no longer needed by the Public Works Department and we would like to
declare them as surplus/excess property:
12 – Trash and Recycling Cans from Downtown
4 – Pickup Trucks
o Truck No. 111 – 1997 Ford ¾ Ton
o Truck No. 115 – 2003 Dodge ½ Ton
o Truck No. 5057 – Dodge Dakota
o Truck No. 5058 – 2002 Jeep Liberty
In 2022, the City of Hastings received grant money from the Dakota County Recycling Program to order
14 Big Belly brand trash/recycling cans for the Downtown Area. The existing cans have now been
removed and replaced with the new, larger cans that include smart technology. The existing cans were
first offered to all departments, with Facilities Maintenance needing only 1 can for City Hall. Since there
was no other interest, we are requesting the remaining cans to be declared surplus property.
In an effort to address our aged pickup truck fleet, replacement vehicles have been provided to the
Public Works Department. The trucks listed above have reached their useful life in the Public Works fleet
and now that replacement vehicles are in place, it is time to authorize them for public sale.
Financial Impact:
Neutral budgetary impact
