<br /> <br />RfE.PORT <br /> <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From the City Manager <br /> <br />October 24, 2005 <br /> <br />Subject <br />Disposal of Surplus Property <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />Approve a resolution declaring the property on the attached list surplus and approve <br />transfer of specified surplus items to the Police Activities League (PAL). <br /> <br />Background <br />The Public Works Services Department, in coordination with the Finance Department, <br />acts as the centralized collection and storage point for City personal property, either <br />worn out and/or surplus for various City departments. <br /> <br />Government Code Section 37351 and Section 3-% of the Charter of the City of <br />Redwood City as amended, permits the sale of any City personal property having an <br />appraised value of five thousand dollars or less without public notice or public bid for <br />any reasonable amount, irrespective of its appraised value. It also allows the City to <br />dispose of surplus property no longer required or needed for present, prospective <br />municipal or public purpose without sale. <br /> <br />The Police Activities League currently has two vans that are used for the transportation <br />of youths, staff and equipment to its activities. One of these vans has been experiencing <br />mechanical problems and needs to be replaced. The transfer of Item #1 - a 1998 Ford <br />Expedition - would enable PAL to continue to broaden its influence in the community. <br />The benefit of the Expedition to PAL and the youths of Redwood City would greatly <br />outweigh the $4,500.00 the City would gain if the van was auctioned. <br /> <br />If the Expedition is transferred, the Police Activities League would provide the funds to <br />maintain it. <br /> <br />Alternative <br />Not approve the transfer of this Expedition to the Police Activities League and direct <br />staff to auction off all the surplus property on the attached list. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact <br />~~~~.evenue from this surplus property will be returned to the EqUiPm{ãce::t- <br /> <br /> <br />~ ~J 1/ . .û ~~ <br />Lar arwacz Peter Ingram Ed E-Verett <br />Public Works Superintendent Public Works Se ices Director City Manager <br /> <br />Attachment: 1.
