Board considers surplus-property donations, South Waldron land-acquisition policy and safety grants
City staff asked the board to consider declaring several city assets surplus and directing disposal, including a surplus heavy-rescue fire truck. Staff said selling the heavy-rescue truck on an online auction (GovDeals) would likely bring approximately $9,000, but donating the unit to the Churchill Volunteer Rescue Squad would yield no sale proceeds.

Staff also presented Resolution 2025-26, a land-acquisition policy to guide purchases of additional real-estate interests needed for the South Waldron Road widening project. The packet included a total value for four batches of acquisitions amounting to $3,312,665; staff asked if there were questions and provided a cost breakdown in the materials.

Separately, staff flagged two matching grant opportunities administered by Public Entity Partners (PIP): a safety partners matching grant (50/50, purchases must exceed $1,500 to qualify for a $750 match) and the James L. Richardson driver-safety matching grant. Staff said Leah in finance has taken responsibility for processing these grants for city departments in the absence of a dedicated grant officer.

These items were presented as resolutions and consent items; no final votes were recorded during the workshop.
