Committee approves surplus of vehicles, authorizes e‑waste recycling with data‑wipe certification

The facilities director asked the committee to declare several vehicles and equipment surplus and to proceed with disposal and sale. The list included a 2009 Uplander van, a 2013 Chevy minibus and a 2021 Thomas Express minibus that contains a wheelchair lift; the district plans to send some items to GovDeals auction and market others for higher returns. "We have a 2009 Uplander van...the 2013 Chevy minibus and the 2021 Thomas Express, which has the wheelchair lifting in there," the facilities staff said while outlining logistics for auction and targeted sale.

Technology staff described an e‑recycling partner that will accept bulk, unusable devices, salvage usable parts for district reuse and provide certificate documentation for any devices with hard drives to show data were wiped. The committee moved and approved the disposals and recycling plan by voice vote.
