6.1.1. - Page 1 <br /> REPORT <br /> To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> From the City Manager <br /> October 17, 2016 <br /> SUBJECT <br /> Disposal of City's Surplus Personal Property <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> By motion, authorize Public Works Services to dispose of the City vehicles and <br /> equipment as delineated on Attachment 1 as surplus personal property, and authorize <br /> staff to sell the items <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> Public Works Services, in conjunction with the Finance Department, acts as the <br /> centralized collection and storage point for City personal property that has reached the <br /> end of its useful lifecycle, as measured by departmental efficiency and effectiveness <br /> standards, and/or is considered surplus from various City departments. <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> Section 3-1/2 of the Redwood City Charter authorizes the City to control and dispose of <br /> City real or personal property for the common benefit. The City vehicles and property <br /> on the attached list have reached the end of their useful life cycle. Staff recommends <br /> that the vehicles and equipment on the attached list be declared surplus property and <br /> disposed of before the end of Fiscal Year 2016-17. The Charter and Municipal Code do <br /> not specify a procedure for disposal of surplus City personal property. Staff <br /> recommends the Council either deem the equipment suitable for donation or direct staff <br /> to sell the surplus property to the highest responsible bidder through public auction. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> Council may choose not to dispose of the surplus property at this time, and attempt to <br /> donate or sell it at a later time, however, this approach would incur additional storage <br /> and collection costs. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> Any revenue generated by a sale of this surplus personal property will be returned to <br /> the Equipment Replacement Fund. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br /> This action is not a "project" within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality <br /> Act (CEQA) because the sale of the City's surplus property will not cause a direct <br /> physical change in the environment or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change <br /> in the environment.
