Tallassee extends auction on surplus vehicles

Cliff Williams / The Tribune The City of Tallassee is auctioning several vehicles no longer needed. The funds generated by the auction will be allocated by the Tallassee City Council at the time the council accepts a bid.

What happens to vehicles and equipment owned by a city when it's no longer needed or beyond repair?

Because taxpayer funds were used, the vehicles can’t be given away and the city is required to seek the best possible price. It’s a process similar to bidding on a construction project.
