Agenda Item: � �� `�
City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia
14727 209�' St.North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Approve the sale of the 1995 GMC 2500 Sierra Pickup Truck(with
western style 8 foot plow) using eBay Motors.
Deadline/ Timeline: N/A
Background: • This truck, which was replaced in late 2010, was purchased used
in 1998 for$15,812. We were unable to find original purchase
information on the plow and whether or not it came with the truck.
• The current mileage is 165,125 and it is in fair condition.
Maintenance staff reports that the engine runs well since being
tuned up and it has good tires. The defroster is defective and the
wheel ball bearings need to be changed.
• The cost to sell on eBay Motors is a$2.00 Insertion Fee and 9.0%
of the item's total cost to the buyer,with a maximum charge of
$100.00. If for some reason the truck does not sell, or if we are not
able to complete the sale with the winning bidder,we can make a
Second Chance Offer to one or more of our bidders or take
advantage of the free Relist policy on eBay.
• The Blue Book value is $2,000 without taking the plow into
account. We could set the minimum bid at$2,000.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize staff to sell the 1995
GMC pickup and plow to the highest bidder using eBay Motors.
