DWI Forfeiture Vehicles Authorized for Public Sale

The Hastings City Council has declared DWI forfeiture vehicles as surplus property and authorized them for public sale. The Hastings Police Department currently has five vehicles that have been obtained through DWI and/or criminal seizure forfeiture proceedings. These vehicles are now cleared for sale with the proceeds to be applied to the Department’s forfeiture account in accordance with Minnesota law. Upon declaration of the vehicles as excess/surplus property, they will now be made available for public sale via a commercially available online auction service. The council also declared as surplus property and authorized for public sale one of the city’s utility vehicles, a retired pickup truck that has been removed from service with an excess of 103,000 miles. This vehicle is no longer needed for City use, however it still has value. The truck was originally used by the Fire Department then transferred to the Facilities Department. It will also be made available for public sale via a commercially available online auction service.
