ITEM 4.8
CITY MANAGER' SREPORT
FEBRUARY 9, 2026 CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING
ITEM: DECLARE EIGHT VEHICLES AND VARIOUS FURNITURE
AND EQUIPMENT SURPLUS PROPERTY AND
AUTHORIZE THEIR DISPOSAL
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution to Declare Eight Vehicles and Various Furniture and Equipment Surplus Property and
Authorize Their Disposal
SUMMARY:
The City currently has eight surplus vehicles and various furniture and equipment 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 any disposal therefore 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 nonprofits or charities. Any vehicles with a failed auction sale will be returned to the City so the City can begin the donation process 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 the listed items are ready to be declared as surplus property for sale, recycling, or disposal.
According to City policy, if the 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 CITY MANAGER' S REPORT PAGE 2

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 nonprofits or charities. Surplus equipment will be discarded or recycled if all other disposal methods are not successful.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Pursuant to City policy, at least once a year each Department Head shall conduct a review of inventory, goods and supplies utilized by that department and shall determine what items have become surplus. City staff has gathered a list of surplus items from all department' s
which are included in Attachment " B". These surplus
assets have been reviewed and determined that their collective value could be greater than $ 5, 000. In addition, once the surplus items are discarded, it will help each department maintain storage space.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Any net revenues from the sale of these items will be returned to the City' s general fund.
