Agenda #: 5.6
Meeting Date: May 16, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: SURPLUS OF THE 2002 CHEVROLET S-10 TO THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
STRATEGIC
GOAL: Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
RECOMMENDATION:
Declare the 2002 Chevrolet S-10 (VIN 1GCCS19W728234869) as surplus, and authorize the City Manager to transfer title to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The City purchased the 2002 Chevrolet S-10 Pickup (VIN 1GCCS19W728234869) and provided the vehicle to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for use by the Community Services Officer (CSO) responsible for street sweeping citations and Sheriff’s Department support. The vehicle has been maintained by the Sheriff’s Department since that time, and due to its age, it is no longer serviceable and the recommendation by Fleet Bureau is to dispose of the vehicle. The City recently purchased a replacement Ford Fusion hybrid vehicle for use by the CSO, making the Chevrolet S-10 both unserviceable and redundant.
ANALYSIS:
Diamond Bar Municipal Code Sec. 3.24.120 provides for each department to periodically review its equipment and complete a surplus property list for items deemed surplus, obsolete, or worn out. The completed list shall be submitted to the City Manager for approval. The Sheriff’s Department is currently in possession of the Chevrolet S-10 and has requested title so they may dispose of the vehicle since it is inoperable. Section 3.24.120 allows for surplus property to be given to another public agency with approval of the City Council. If approved by the City Council, the City Manager will transfer title to the Sheriff’s Department, at which time the vehicle will be removed from the City’s Asset List and insurance. The vehicle will then become property of the Sheriff’s Department for disposal or surplus under its disposal procedures.
