As part of our move to Osgood Landing and our return to town hall we have determined that certain
furniture and equipment no longer has any value to the town or was damaged and not worth repairing.
A list of those items follows:
3 drawer brown lateral file cabinet (Comm Dev)
3 drawer cream lateral file cabinet (Comm Dev)
Desk chairs with casters 2 (BOS, ACCT)
Fabric and metal chairs (unknown origin)
Kitchen chairs (black) 8
Conference Room accessory cabinet (cables etc.)
Desk hutches/shelves 4 (various offices)
Refrigerator
I request that the board of selectmen surplus this furniture/equipment and determine it has no salvage
value.
