These included the approval of declaring miscellaneous metals, a bucket truck, a GMC dump truck, augers, non-working water pumps, electric panels and meter boxes, weed eaters, chainsaws, blowers, mowers, and used power poles as surplus items, and their subsequent disposal through Yaffee Metals or a city surplus auction.
