Last year, a vehicle usage study was initiated by the Sedona City Manager’s Office due to concerns regarding the number of city vehicles and fiscal constraints affecting the city.
As a result, the city is auctioning eight additional vehicles and other miscellaneous equipment through publicsurplus.com over the next 45 days with a staggered release date. Those who are interested in viewing the vehicles or other items should go to www.publicsurplus.com and search “Agency” for city of Sedona.
Decreasing the numbers of vehicles and other surplus equipment has several benefits, including the following:
- Reduced vehicle costs associated with maintenance [on older vehicles], insurance [number of vehicles covered] and eliminated replacement costs for vehicles not replaced.
- Continued shared usage of vehicles within and among various departments.
- Implementation of standardized purchasing policy for vehicle replacement.
- Potential cost savings for storage of surplus equipment.
Check back often to see newly released items for public viewing. If you would like more information, please call the City Manager’s Office at 204-7127.
