Action: City Clerk Hines read the title and Public Works Director James Watts reported noting that these vehicles were for five (5) separate departments. Mayor Edelcup noted that this was a housekeeping item that the vehicles were already purchased. Public Speakers: none Mayor Edelcup said that he would like to get a report on a quarterly basis as to how well we are ridding ourselves of the surplus equipment or old equipment that this new equipment is replacing so that this Commission can be apprised of not only what we are authorizing to purchase but what net offset may result by selling off some of the surplus equipment. City Manager Szerlag said that by taking a lead from the Police Department who details vehicles to make them look very good and put them on the auction block, we can do that for all of our rolling stock and will provide a report on what is being recycled or traded in and how much money we received for that trade. Commissioner Thaler asked if any of the 15 vehicles have been disposed of yet, and Mr. Watts said no and that most of them will not, as a lot of them are additions to their department, and that only the Police Department has replacement cars (9), and we are in the process of stripping those cars out now, once they are finished then there will be an advertisement for an auction. Vice Mayor Brezin asked how many vehicles does the City currently have, and Mr. Watts said he does not have that information here but he would provide it to the Commission. City Manager Szerlag said that they will get that information to the Commission, and that it would be part of all future budget documents.
