Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Department of Public Works (DPW), through its Fleet Management Division, has received a formal donation request from Walnut Grove Fire Protection District. The request is for one (1) Fire truck, which Walnut Grove Fire Protection District intends to use for active firefighting as their current fire truck is beyond its useful life. This specific vehicle has been identified as surplus by the City of Sacramento, has surpassed its useful operational life and is no longer in service. Donating this vehicle to Walnut Grove Fire Protection District would not only help to repurpose city resources but also support their ongoing efforts to build a stronger and healthier community.
Policy Considerations: City Code Chapter 3.80.030 (7) provides that surplus personal property may be donated to any other public agency or charitable organization exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code by resolution of the City Council. In this instance, the recipient meets this criterion, making the organization eligible to receive donated surplus item.
File ID: 2025-01120 6/17/2025 Item 7.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): No environmental review is necessary because the recommendations in this report involve the donation of a vehicle and is not considered to be a project in accordance with Section 15378(b)(2) of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines.

Commission/Committee Action: None.
Rationale for Recommendation: The following unit is no longer in service and is surplus to the City’s needs: Unit 10723 - 2008 Pierce Hawk Firetruck (Vin# 1HTWCAZN98J652842).
Financial Considerations: Authorizing and executing the hold harmless agreement will protect the City from any further financial liability associated with the donated truck, and there will be no associated costs to the City upon approval of this Resolution.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
