<br />~r-l <br /> <br />REPORT <br /> <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From the City Manager <br /> <br />May 15, 2000 <br /> <br />Subject: <br />Surplus Property <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />It is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution declaring the computer <br />equipment on the attached list surplus property and authorize the transfer of the equipment to <br />the Redwood City Education Foundation. <br /> <br />Background: <br />The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department's Fair Oaks Community Center <br />completed its changeover from MAC to PC based computers in 1999. The surplus equipment <br />created by this changeover in equipment includes: seven monitors, seven keyboards, nine <br />hard drives, and four printers. While these items are no longer useful to the City, they are still <br />functional and of particular use to those in the education arena where MAC based computers <br />and software are still prevalent. The Redwood City Education Foundation was approached <br />and has agreed to receive the surplus property and in turn make sure that it is distributed <br />among local schools and school based programs where it is most needed. <br /> <br />Government Code Section 37351, and Section 3 1/2 of the Charter of Redwood City as <br />amended, permits the sale of any City personal property having an appraised value of five <br />thousand dollars or less without public notice or public bid for any reasonable amount, <br />irrespective of its appraised value. It also allows the City to dispose of surplus property no <br />longer required or needed for present, prospective municipal or public purpose without sale. <br />The used equipment that we recommend be transferred to the Redwood City Education <br />Foundation has an appraised value of less than $2,000 and no longer serves the needs of our <br />City. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact: <br />In making this donation the City is foregoing less than $2,000 in potential income from the <br />surplus computer property. <br /> <br />Alternative: <br />Council can direct staff to include these items via the normal process of disposing of surplus <br />property <br /> <br /> <br />(;;;; ~ Þ <br />/ I / . <br />t' / J) <br />/,,( ~Ú£I' <br />Ed Everett <br />City Manager <br /> <br />~... <br />¡' ~. <br />Lv ~-.-l~ <br />Corinne"-C'énteno <br />PRCS Superintendent <br /> <br />""'--"'--r---'--"""'" . <br />
