Councilmember Williams stated that he is not opposed to purchase but in future would
like maintenance records. He does not like trading in vehicles. He believes that a vehicle
with 100,000 to 150,000 miles is still very young for a vehicle. He does not agree with
the City's 10 year — 100,000 mile policy and feels it should be double that.
Councilmember Garcia stated he is glad to see vehicle go to another department. He
asked where the funds from the vehicles sold at auction go. He was advised that they go
into the service center fund.
Mr. Gilliland stated our auctions are done through Rene Bates online auctions.
Councilmember Williams asked if we posted our auctions. He was advised we do not
currently but we could do that in the future.
Mayor Dunlap asked for a vote on the matter. The motion carried by unanimous vote.
Sarianne Beversdorf, Director of Finance presented for consideration Resolution R15-
334, TexPool Resolution Amending Authorized Representatives. Staff realized that we
had not taken off Greg Ingham as authorized representative. This removes Greg's name
and adds Jeffrey Snyder as authorized representative.
Mayor Dunlap asked for public comment. There was no public comment.
Councilmember Starnes moved to approve Resolution R15-334. The motion was duly
seconded by Councilmember Williams and carried by unanimous vote.
