RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF VEHICLES
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve Resolution
Authorizing the Sale of a City Vehicle and Forfeited Vehicle.
Approval of the motion will result in sale of vehicles.
Overview
The 1997 Legislature made DWI enforcement more stringent by enabling cities to seize
vehicles that are involved in certain violations. The seized vehicle may be 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. City staff is recommending that the vehicles be sold at the State
auction.
The 2013 budget provided for the replacement of certain vehicles which are at the end of
their normal useful life. The staff has evaluated the maintenance and operating condition of
the City's vehicle fleet and has determined that the functional asset life for these vehicles has
ended and can be sold to the highest bidder at the well- attended State Auction.
Primary Issues to Consider
Value of vehicles. The City historically has received the highest value for vehicles at the
State Auction due to the high number of bidders.
