Bethlehem City Council to Vote on Selling Used Police Gear, and Ban on Selling Gas to Unlicensed ATVs, Dirt Bikes

— Jeff Ward, Lehigh Valley News Briefs

Police buffs may have the chance to buy some used law-enforcement gear from the City of Bethlehem.

City Council will meet Tuesday to consider a resolution to allow the auction of equipment, including used holsters, handcuff pouches and more.

Nothing lethal. Such auctions are routine.

The full list is here. There is some scientific equipment, and a label-maker.

Council will also consider an update of the city’s ban on unlicensed ATVs and dirt bikes on the streets. The rules include a ban on selling fuel to such vehicles, unless they are secured on a trailer or truck.

In a state where everybody pumps their own gas, this might be hard to enforce.

There used to be a guy who drove his riding mower on Linden Street. I haven’t seen him for a few years.

City Council will meet at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 17, in Town Hall, the building between City Hall and the Bethlehem Area Public Library.

Here’s the agenda.
