Item No.
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF FORFEITED VEHICLES
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve Resolution Authorizing
the Sale of Forfeited Vehicles.
Overview
The 1997 Legislature made DWI enforcement more stringent by enabling cities to seize vehicles
that are involved in certain violations. The seized vehicles maybe held a minimum of 30 days
prior to the expiration of the owner's right to challenge the forfeiture. Vehicles the City currently
has in storage may be disposed of in accordance with Minnesota Statute Section 169.1217, Subd.
9. The vehicles will be sold at the State auction.
Primary Issues to Consider
Value of vehicles. the City historically has r<ereived the highest value for vehicles at the
State Auction due to the highs mmnber of bidders.
