Proposed Action
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF CITY VEHICLES
AND FORFEITED VEHICLES
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve Resolution Authorizing
the Sale of City Vehicles and Forfeited Vehicles.
Overview
The 2011 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.
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 he 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
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.
