REPORT 6.1C ..' Page 1 July 28, 2008 SUBJECT Disposal of Surplus Fire Apparatus RECOMMENDATION Approve by motion the designation of two fire apparatus as surplus and authorize staff to sell the items per City procedure. BACKGROUND The Public Works Services Department, in conjunction with the Finance Department, acts as the centralized collection and storage point for City property that has reached the end of useful life cycle as measured by department efficiency and effectiveness standards, and/or is considered surplus. Government Code Section 37351 and Section 3.5 of the Charter of the City of Redwood City as amended, permits the sale of any City personal property having an appraised value of five thousand dollars or more through public notice or public bid for not less than 90% of the appraised value. Attached hereto is the description of two surplus fire trucks with an appraised value of more than $5,000 each. Each of these two pieces of surplus property has exceeded its useful life. Exhibit "A" - This fire tiller truck was purchased and put into service in 1987. It was replaCed and taken out of service on June 2008, after 21 years of service and exceeding its useful life. Exhibit "B" - This fire engine was purchased and put into service in 1988. It was replaced and taken out of service on September 2007. after 19 years of service and exceeding its useful life. ALTERNATIVES Continue storing and collecting the City's surplus property which will be financially detrimental to the City, since surplus property depreciates in value as it ages in the surplus lot. FISCAL IMPACT The revenue from the sale of this surplus property will be returned to the Equipment Replacement Fund. ~/~ Terence Kyaw Reel Manager ~6~} Larry acz Public Works Services Director Peler Ingram City Manager
