PUBLIC WORKS 
 
MEMORANDUM 
 
TO:  Randy Dowling, City Manager  
  Mike Keith, Finance Director 
   
FROM:  Ben Burchfield, Public Works Director 
 
DATE:  4/2/2026 
 
SUBJECT: Pride Car Assets Liquidation 
 
The Public Works Department is requesting Council approval to dispose of multiple pride car 
assets. As a reminder, the Pride Car program was stopped during the onset of the pandemic in 
2020 and bulky household items/junk and brush pick -up that were provided via Pride Car were 
shifted to the knuckleboom collection routes for continuation of service delivery.  
 
There were six trailers purchased at the beginning of the program. Assets to be impacted include 
the following: 
 
1. Asset #3426 
2. Asset #3428 
3. Asset #3430 
4. Asset #3431 
 
Two of the six trailers are to be kept by Public Works. One is currently in use at the Recycle Center 
for collection and transportation of aluminum cans, and the other has been repurposed for 
transporting garbage totes during festivals/events hosted downtown.  
 
The above four assets are to be listed and sold on GovDeals. The City will not be replacing these 
assets from the fleet fund.
