Title
A RESOLUTION DECLARING CERTAIN PROPERTY SURPLUS AND AUTHORIZING SALE AND/OR DISPOSAL THEREOF
Background
As Public Works has grown and replaced older vehicles in its fleet, the City has chosen to hold on to a number of trucks that are no longer suitable to be used as a primary vehicle yet still has value to the City in a secondary use. Examples of this include taking a truck that is used on a daily basis by front line crews and identifying it as a backup vehicle in case of breakdowns or to be used by our seasonal help. The ancillary equipment that was originally ordered with these vehicles is also kept in case of a need to use it at a later date. This program has provided great benefit to the City by controlling costs of purchasing new vehicles for uses that are intermittent or seasonal.
Public Works staff has reviewed our inventory and determined there are several pieces of equipment that are no longer useful to the City and recommend that they be designated as surplus property by the City Council in order to dispose of by sale per Policy.
The identified equipment recommended for disposal by sale and its estimated fair market value includes:
(5) Boss 9’2” V-Plows with central hydraulic functions $450.00 each
(4) Boss 8’2” V-Plows $750.00 each
(9) Boss 9’2” V-Plows $750.00 each
Financial Impacts
Any revenue realized with the sale of this property shall be placed in the Capital Equipment Fund for future appropriation by the City Council.
Recommendation
By Motion, adopt the Resolution.
