G.7 Approve Sale of Fire Department Vehicle #Ul (#4216) The Hugo Fire Department is looking to sell the 2006 Ford Expedition in their fleet that was recently replaced with a new vehicle. The City of Princeton Fire Department would like to purchase the Expedition for $5,000.00. The Hugo Fire Department feels that this is a fair price for the vehicle, as trade in value is estimated at $4,200.00. By selling the Expedition to the Princeton Fire Department, the Hugo Fire Department would also save the costs of having to remove the lights, sirens, and decals from the vehicle because the Princeton Fire Department will continue to use it to respond to emergency situations. Staff recommends Council approve the sale of the 2006 Ford Expedition #U1 (#4216) to the City of Princeton Fire Department in the amount of $5,000.00.
