City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia

Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Approve sale of radio gang charger to the Newport Fire Department
for $500.00
Deadline/Timeline: N/A
Background: • The Fire Department acquired a charger for its new radios as part
of the overall purchase of 800 MHZ radio equipment. The charger
does not fit in the truck in which they had planned to use it.
• The vendor that sold the equipment values the charger at $500.00.
The Fire Department informed all Washington County Chiefs that
the charger was for sale. Hugo & Hudson were initially interested,
but declined. Newport is willing to purchase the charger for its
$500.00 value.
• The City's purchasing policy provides that disposal of any item
valued at $100 or more requires prior authorization by the
Council. The Council must approve the method of disposition at
the time it determines that the item may be disposed of, which
must comply with state law.
Recommendation: I recommend that the City Council approve the sale of the charger to
the Newport Fire Department for$500.00.
