BENTON — The Benton City Council Monday night approved selling surplus personal property in the fire department.

According to City Clerk Brook Craig, the council will begin taking bids on surplus material in the fire department. It’s unclear right now what will be available, but a list should be made available soon.

The council also approved David “Tyler” Ore to be added as an auxiliary police officer and approved giving Franklin County EMA up to $1,500 to support continuance of NIXLE, which keeps you up-to-date with relevant information from your local public safety departments and schools by text or email.
