ITEM 4. 5
CITY MANAGER' S REPORT
MAY 13, 2024 CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING
ITEM: DECLARE ONE VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT SURPLUS
PROPERTY AND AUTHORIZE THEIR DISPOSAL
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution Declaring One Vehicle and Equipment Surplus Property and Authorizing Their
Disposal
SUMMARY:
The City currently has one surplus vehicle and various equipment/ items that have reached their useful life, have been replaced, or the repair costs exceed their fair market value.
The City' s policy regarding disposition of surplus property allows for surplus property to be sold at auction. In the event that the auction is unsuccessful, the City may choose to donate, discard or recycle the property. Pursuant to Council Resolution 21- 4831, the City Council declared surplus property with a value of $ 1, 500 or less to be of de minimus value and adopted a donation policy that allows the City to donate surplus City vehicles with a value of less than $ 1, 500 to local non -profits or charities.
Any vehicles with a failed auction sale will be returned to the City to be donated to local non -profits or charities.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Lathrop updated its policy regarding disposition of surplus vehicles on December 1, 2014 pursuant to Resolution 14- 3848 and staff recommends that the items listed on Attachment " B" be declared surplus property in accordance with this policy. All of these items have reached their useful life, have been replaced, or the cost of repair exceeds their value. Each item listed on the attachment has a brief description of the condition of each item. All of the listed items are ready to be declared as surplus property for sale, recycling, or disposal.
According to City policy, if the total market value of the surplus items is greater than 5, 000, the Purchasing Officer shall present the listing of such assets to the City Council for action regarding their declaration as surplus. It has been determined that these items collectively could have a value greater than $ 5, 000.
Surplus vehicles will be sold at public auction by Nationwide Fleet Services pursuant to an existing contract. In the event that the property remains unsold, the City Council may choose to donate, discard or recycle the property. Pursuant to Council Resolution 21- 4831 the City Council declared surplus property with a value of $ 1, 500 or less to be of de minimus value and the donation thereof does not create a gift of public funds. Council adopted a donation policy through the same resolution to allow the City to donate surplus City vehicles with a value of less than $ 1, 500 to local non- CITY MANAGER' S REPORT PAGE 2
