Overview: As part of the Fleet Replacement Program, vehicles replaced after exceeding their useful life are eligible to be sold through an online public auction. In 2005, the State enacted Session Law 2005-227 which authorizes local governments to increase the value of surplus property sold using informal procedures to $30,000. Any amount higher than this threshold requires Council authorization. The sale price of the vehicles listed in this Resolution may exceed $30,000 and therefore require Council's authorization for disposal.


Recommendation:
That the Council adopt the attached resolution declaring the vehicles listed as surplus and authorize their sale in an online auction through www.GovDeals.com

Key Issue: The vehicles listed have been replaced utilizing Vehicle Replacement funding and are no longer needed by the Town.

Fiscal Impact/Resources: There is no cost to list the vehicle online. Proceeds of the sale of the vehicle will be returned to the Vehicle Replacement Fund.
