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 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. Two of the vehicles will be sold at the State auction. The remaining two will be used in
Pursuit Intervention Technique or other police training purposes and then sold as salvage.
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.
