In addition to facility maintenance, the Board will handle the disposal of surplus equipment and the acquisition of new land.
- Fire Department Assets: The Board is slated to approve a formal sale price for a city fire engine being retired from service.
- Strategic Land Purchase: Members will vote on the approval of a Purchase Agreement for the property located at the corner of John Williams Boulevard and X Street. This project is being handled in coordination with the Redevelopment Commission, which is meeting later that same afternoon to discuss appraisals for the site.
The meeting is open to the public. As this is a special session, the Board will address only the specific items listed on the published agenda.
