The city will hold an auction on Sept. 23 to get rid of miscellaneous items.
Some of the items seem like typical supplies that might accumulate in any office: typewriters, printers, computer monitors. Others are old vehicles: trucks, SUVs and old police cars.
Then there are the pieces of heavy duty equipment: a street sweeper, a paint machine, an asphalt maintainer. There are lawn mowers, battery chargers, desks and paper towel dispensers.

Waffle makers
palm-tree mugs and plates
wicker bar stools

When the city council approved holding the auction in July, I think one of the members asked where the heck the city gets some of this stuff. The answer (when it comes to waffle makers and palm-tree plates, I think) was concessions.
You can find the list of items if you go to the city web site. Click on city council and find the agenda for the July 31 meeting, and the should be in there. Or, if you want to see photos of the vehicles up for auction, visit this site.
You can see the auction items from 1 to 4 p.m., when the auction actually starts. Bricker's will start concessions around 3 p.m.
