CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 4A STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Swenson, Public Safety Director MEETING DATE: August 8, 2022 TOPIC: Sale of Decommissioned Fire Apparatus (A11) VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 INTRODUCTION The Lino Lakes Public Safety Department is requesting Council authorization to sell a 2002 Freightliner Toyne (VIN 1FV6TMDB9YHG80053) to the Armory Shell Towing and Auto Body for $10,000.00. BACKGROUND During the Council Work Session on May 2, 2022, staff informed members of the City Council that All (Vehicle # 611) had failed the annual inspection and was taken out of service as required by OSHA and NFPA requirements. Council directed staff to liquated Al and research options to replace A11. Staff had all of Lino Lakes graphics and equipment removed from the apparatus to prepare it to be sold. Staff received two offers to purchase Al I from members of the public (offer for $8,000 and $10,000). To ensure that the sale of this property is handled in a consistent manner with the sale of other City property, staff placed Al on State of Minnesota online auction with a $10,000 reserve twice (first attempt 6.23.2022 to 6.23.2022; second attempt 6.29.2022 to 7.8.2022) but the reserve was not met during either auctions. Staff contacted Armory Shell Towing regarding their $10,000 offer and the business initially lowered their offer to $7,500 but staff informed the business that staff would not move this forward at that dollar amount. Armory Shell Towing then increased their offer to the original offer amount of $10,000. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Council approve the sale of the 2002 Freightliner Toyne (VIN 1FV6TMDB9YHG80053) for $10,000.00 and deposit the proceeds from the sale of this fire apparatus into the Capital Replacement Fund.
