6.1.C. - Page 2 <br />Selling all the terminals at one time to the City of Mountain View for $100 per terminal <br />allows the City to recoup a portion of the City's investment at a price comparable to <br />market rate, if a private vendor were willing to purchase the terminals. This also would <br />be a single transaction eliminating additional labor costs required to try and sell them <br />individually for more than $100 per terminal. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Section 3-1/2 (Acquisition and Disposal of Property by City) of the Redwood City <br />Charter authorizes the City to control and dispose of City real or personal property for <br />the common benefit. The VDI terminals have not proven to be a stable or cost effective <br />solution for the City. Staff recommends that the terminals be declared surplus property <br />and disposed of before the end of Fiscal Year 2016-17. The Charter does not set forth a <br />specific procedure for disposal of surplus City personal property, and the City Council <br />has authority to dispose of it in the manner recommended here. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />The Council could direct staff to develop specifications and solicit sealed bids from <br />multiple potential buyers; however, IT staff has attempted to solicit interest from used <br />equipment dealers and has been unsuccessful thus far. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The sale of the terminals to the City of Mountain View will generate approximately <br />$9,000 of revenue for the City. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />This activity is not a project under CEQA as defined in CEQA Guidelines, section <br />15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably <br />foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. <br />TONY GELPHMAN <br />IT MANAGER <br />KIMBRA MCCARTHY <br />ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES <br />`��1�.c.�►? arra. ��Y 1'tc, <br />MELISSA STEVENSON DIAZ <br />CITY MANAGER <br />
