The light bars are to be used only for approved purposes/vehicles so cannot be sold to the general public at the regular annual City auction of excess and unclaimed personal property. Under Orono Municipal Code, Chapter 2, Section 2.61, Subd. 3 the City Administrator may recommend to the City Council that certain personal property owned by the City is no longer needed for municipal purposes and should be sold. The City Council declares the property surplus, the value is estimated, and the City is authorized to dispose of the property as stated in Section 2.61 Subd. 3. The property in question, four car top emergency light bars, which have a value of $50.00 each can therefore be sold by the City Administrator through negotiated sale. Chief Kilbo has three vendors who have expressed interest in purchasing one or more of these light bars. These vendors operate tow trucks or house moving equipment. It is requested that the City Administrator seek Council approval to dispose of this property through negotiated sale.
