Re: Disposal of Surplus Property
Background:
The City's purchasing policy also covers the disposition of surplus property. Pursuant to that policy,the
disposition of any item valued at$100 or more must be preapproved by the City Council. Furthermore,
the City Council must approve of the method of disposition.
At the August Council meeting,the Council approved of the disposal of the tow able rescue trailer from
the fire department. The trailer has been advertised on fire classified sites but has not had much interest
to date.
Issue:
Should the City Council approve of disposing of the fire dept rescue trailer via Govdeals?
Proposal Details:
Staff is seeking autharization to try and sell the towable rescue trailer on Govdeals. Govdeals was
recently used for the sale of the old engine 5180 with some success.
Fiscal Impact:
The proceeds from the sale of any funds should be deposited into the Equipment Replacement Fund.
Options:
1) Approve the disposal of the tow-able rescue trailer through Govdeals
2) Approve of disposal of the tow-able rescue trailer by another method
3) Do not approve of the disposal of the tow-able rescue trailer
Recommendation:
Option 1
