The board approved staff requests to declare city vehicles surplus or worthless following recent damage and mechanical issues.

Dave Payne, purchasing manager, told the board fleet maintenance requested that City vehicle ID 435, which was involved in a total-loss accident, be declared surplus so it can be turned over to the insurance company as part of the settlement. "The vehicle is, number city ID number 435, and it was involved in a total loss accident. And so it'll be turned over to insurance company as part of the settlement," Payne said.

Payne also asked the board to declare four additional vehicles worthless due to significant mechanical and frame problems; those vehicles will be scrapped. He listed the vehicle numbers as 2819, 14124, 24118 and 412. The board moved, seconded and approved both the surplus and worthless declarations by voice vote.

Payne said the fleet had driven the vehicles "till weekend" and that they could no longer be driven; the board recorded approval and staff will proceed with insurance settlement and scrapping procedures.
