CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE:
AGENDA #:
PREPARED BY:
MAY 17, 1999
4G
BILL O'ROURKE, CHIEF OF POLICE
AGENDA ITEM:
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AWARD OF SALE FOR
THREE PIECES OF SURPLUS CITY EQUIPMENT.
DISCUSSION:
History
At its April 17, 1999, meeting the City Council approved a
request to declare three vehicles; a 1985 Chevrolet Blazer, a
1990 Accura Integra, and a 1985 Honda Shadow motorcycle,
as surplus to City needs and authorized the disposal of same.
The Council will recall that these vehicles had been acquired
through various forfeitures set forth in State Statute, including, as
a result ofDWI enforcement efforts.
As per ordinance, the vehicles were advertised in the Prior Lake
American and sealed bids were accepted until 10:00 A.M. on
Tuesday, May II, 1999. A front page article also appeared
highlighting the disposal of this equipment.
Current Circumstances
Six bids were received for the Blazer, and two bids were
submitted for both the Accura and Honda motorcycle. The high
bids are as follows: $1,688.00 for the Blazer
$ 220.00 for the Accura
$ 555.00 for the Honda
ISSUES:
Each of these pieces of equipment is in poor condition. The
Blazer runs but will not pass an emission test. It also appears to
have suspension problems. The Accura is driveable, but in
poor condition overall. The motorcycle has not been started for
over three years. The "Blue Book" estimates the vehicles in
'fair' condition to be valued at $2,600.00 for the Blazer,
$1,915.00 for the Accura, and $1,200.00 for the motorcycle. I
believe the bids reflect the current condition of the equipment.
