Overview: As part of the FY22 Fleet Replacement Program, the Stormwater Division’s 14-year-old Street Sweeper was replaced after exceeding its useful life and is 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 street sweeper is anticipated to exceed $30,000 and therefore requires Council’s authorization for disposal.

 

Recommendation(s):

That the Council adopt the attached resolution declaring the 2008 International Street Sweeper truck as surplus and authorize its sale in an online auction through www.GovDeals.com

 

Key Issue:

                     The Street sweeper has exceeded its useful life and 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 Stormwater Enterprise Fund.
