City declares surplus police radio equipment, sirens and light bars for online sale

The Lafayette board declared a series of police items surplus, including radio equipment, sirens and light bars, and authorized the purchasing department to sell the items on the online auction site GovDeals.com.

Dave Payne, purchasing manager, presented the list of equipment the police department no longer uses and asked the board to declare those items surplus so they can be sold online. The board moved, seconded and approved the declaration; the transcript records aye votes and no recorded opposition.

The transcript does not list individual serial numbers or an estimated total expected from the sale. Staff indicated the items are surplus because the police department no longer uses them.
