After being declared surplus, the vehicles will be sold at auction and proceeds, if any, will be disbursed according to Minnesota State Statute.

 

The Shakopee Police Department is also requesting that the attached property list be declared surplus. The police department has been in possession of the property for several months and ownership cannot be determined. A list of the property was published in the Shakopee Valley News as required by City Code. Customarily, unclaimed property is sold through a public auction and bikes are auctioned at the City of Shakopee's Wheelies event. The surplus property that the police department deems inappropriate for public auction is destroyed.
