The following equipment is obsolete and is no longer useful to the City. We request City Commission approval to sell the surplus equipment on Gov Deals as we have done in the past.

Finance Equipment

In August 2007, Finance Utility Billing upgraded their payment processor with a faster machine with more features.  The old processor is no longer used.

Parks and Recreation Equipment 

Parks and Recreation is requesting to sell a funeral set up trailer and contents.  The City stopped providing this service in 2001 and no longer needs this equipment.

A Sharp copier, originally purchased by Personnel in 1998 and eventually transferred to Public Works Waste Reduction and Recycling, has been replaced due to its slow speed, noise, and maintenance costs.
