Council approves surplus declaration for 2010 Ford Crown Victoria for auction

The City of Robinson declared a 2010 Ford Crown Victoria surplus and authorized its sale at public auction as part of a consent agenda approved by the council. The vehicle, described in the meeting as a low-mileage 2010 Ford Crown Victoria (VIN 2FABP7BV6AX131500), was formerly used by the DuBois Police Department and later loaned to the fire marshal. Staff said the fire department returned the vehicle and it is no longer needed. The council approved the consent agenda items that included minutes and the surplus declaration; a motion to approve the consent agenda was made and seconded on the record and the chair called for the ayes. Why it matters: Declaring surplus vehicles and other property on the consent agenda clears them for auction or disposition and is standard municipal practice to recoup value and remove unneeded assets from inventory. Ending note: The city manager and staff will follow usual surplus-disposal procedures and take the vehicle to auction as authorized by the council.
