BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown does hereby declare the 1988 E-One aerial ladder truck previously used by Conqueror Hook & Ladder to be surplus and available for sale by the Village of Tarrytown.
RESOLUTION TO SELL CONQUEROR HOOK & LADDER TRUCK
Trustee Butler moved, seconded by Trustee Zollo and unanimously carried to approve the following resolution.
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees authorized the Village Administrator to advertise for the sale of the 1988 Conqueror Hook and Ladder truck; and
WHEREAS, the Village commenced the process of selling of the apparatus in October 2012; and
WHEREAS, the advertisement for the sale of the apparatus was placed in the Fire Trader publication, which specializes in the buying, selling and trading of new and used public safety equipment and services and is delivered monthly to 37,000 public safety related addresses; and
WHEREAS, two (2) proposals have been received since October for the purchase of the apparatus; and
WHEREAS, the two (2) proposals are as follows:
Sanford, Maine Fire Department $25,000
New England Fire Equipment & Apparatus Corporation $15,000
WHEREAS, the proposal is from the City of Sanford, Maine Fire Department and the apparatus will be used as the back-up apparatus for the Sanford Fire Department.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees believes that there has been minimal interest in the sale of the apparatus and the Village went through a similar lengthy process relating to the sale of the Riverside Hose pumper truck.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that it is the belief of the Board of Trustees that it is the best interest of the Village to accept the offer of the Sanford Fire Department, to sell the apparatus, to remove the apparatus from the Village’s insurance policy which will reduce the cost of the insurance and to once again provide the garage space at the Department of Public Works for public works vehicles as opposed to prolonging the sale process and possibly losing the sale.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown does hereby authorize the sale of the 1988 E-One aerial ladder truck to the City of Sanford Fire Department per their offer of $25,000 in “as is” condition.
ADJOURNMENT
Trustee Zollo moved, seconded by Trustee McGovern and unanimously carried that the Special Meeting be adjourned and the Board move into the regularly scheduled Work Session. The Special Meeting was adjourned at 7:19 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
