Bellevue Council has ratified a decision to sell two old police cars after it was determined that no one had obtained council approval before the sales were advertised.

Safety committee chairman David Gillingham Jr. argued that the sales had been approved by the safety committee.

"The committee doesn't have the authority to sell borough property," said council member Linda Woshner at the April 27 council meeting.

Council member Jane Braunlich, who chairs the public works committee, said that committee chairs and department heads could not unilaterally decide to sell their departments' assets.

"It wouldn't look good if I did it," Braunlich said.
