City to Auction Off Surplus Vehicles

The Compton City Council last week approved the city’s holding
an auction for the sale of its surplus vehicles.
The Council’s action consisted of declaring the nine vehicles in
question as “surplus property” as well as authorizing their
being sold at a public auction. A date has yet to be set.
This is the second time the item has come before the Council. Previously
it was sent back to city staff because council members thought it wise
to hold the auction in the city of Compton rather than in another city,
which was the original plan.
The vehicles available for the public to bid on are a 1994 Ford
Taurus, 1993 Chevrolet Caprice, two 1992 Chevrolet Caprices, a 1991 Chevrolet
Corsica, a 1990 Ford Tempo, a 1988 Toyota Corolla, a 1984 Gallo Roller
and a 1980 Ford Dump Truck.
The Public Works Department’s Street Maintenance Division recently
inspected the city’s fleet and determined that these nine vehicles
are no longer of use to the city.
According to City Manager Barbara Kilroy, the auction will most
likely be held on a Saturday in January at the vacant storage lot next
to CareerLink.
Councilwoman Barbara Calhoun had requested earlier this year that
the city contact tow yards in Compton to see if they would be interesting
in holding the auctions. But Kilroy said the tow yards were not asked
because it was decided the city would get the most money for its equipment
by using a professional auctioneer.
