Declare Excess Property and Authorization to Accept Bids for the
Sale of 1971 GMC Pick Up
Included in the 2007 Utilities Department budget, approval was given for purchase
of a pick-up truck. As a result of that purchase, the Utilities Department will no
longer have use for the 2000 Ford currently being used by them.
The fire department operates two pick-ups for the purpose of grass/brush type fires.
Our oldest is used for the purposes of more difficult and treacherous areas and also
as a back-up to our newest. Currently that service is being fulfilled by a 1971 GMC
pick-up. Based on age I have concerns regarding the future use of this vehicle.
In discussion with the City Administrator Dave Osberg and Public Works Director
Tom Montgomery, this would be an excellent extended use of the Utilities
Department 2000 Ford pick-u p.
If approved, this change would place the 1971 GMC pick-up as excess property
and sale would occur through sealed bids or Internet-based bidding.
If you should have any questions regarding this issue, please feel free to call me on
my cellular phone at 651-775-5545. I will also be attending the February 5, 2007
city council meeting should you have any questions of me at that time.
Requested Action: Authorize the transfer of Utilities Department 2000 Ford pick-up to the
Fire Department and declare the 1971 GMC pick-up currently in use by the fire
department as excess property and authorize the sale of this vehicle through a bid process.
