City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7.c.
DATE: April 1, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: Rene Salas, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Danilo Batson, Interim Director of Public Works SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF ADOPTION OF
RESOLUTION NO. 25-033, AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF
FIVE OBSOLETE CITY VEHICLES
SUMMARY: Staff is requesting authorization from the City Council for the sale of five (5) obsolete vehicles that are no longer used by the City.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council adopt Resolution No. 25- 033, authorizing the sale of five (5) obsolete City Vehicles and direct the City Manager to hire an auction company to dispose of the obsolete vehicles.
FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: Staff intends to sell the obsolete City vehicles through an auction company. The revenues generated from the auction are not expected to be significant, but will be placed in the General Fund.
DISCUSSION: Staff is requesting authorization from the City Council for the sale of five (5) obsolete vehicles by soliciting bids. The vehicles the City is seeking to sell are listed in Attachment B. These vehicles are not running and are not a part of the City’s daily operations.
Pursuant to South El Monte Municipal Code Section 3.16.110, the City Council's approval is required for the sale of obsolete personal property that is sold for a value of more than two thousand dollars ($2,000). At this time, staff is unable to determine exactly how much payment the City will receive from the sale of the five (5) obsolete vehicles. Staff’s inability to determine exactly how much payment the City will receive from this sale makes it necessary that the City Council authorize the sale in case the sale exceeds two thousand dollars ($2,000).
Staff intends to sell the obsolete City vehicles through an auction company. The auction company will pick up the obsolete City vehicles and sell them through their own channels, typically online or in a vehicle lot.

A RESOLUTION OF THE SOUTH EL MONTE CITY
COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF FIVE OBSOLETE
CITY VEHICLES
WHEREAS, staff is requesting authorization from the South El Monte City Council for the sale of five (5) obsolete vehicles by soliciting bids. These vehicles are not operative and are not a part of the City’s daily operations; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to South El Monte Municipal Code Section 3.16.110, the City Council’s approval is required for the sale of obsolete personal property that is sold for a value of more than two thousand dollars ($2,000); and
WHEREAS, staff intends to sell the obsolete City vehicles through an auction company.
The auction company will pick up the obsolete City vehicles and sell them through their own channels, typically online or in a vehicle lot. For each vehicle, the auction company will charge the City a fee based on what each City vehicle requires. These fees will be deducted from the final sale price of the vehicles and the City will receive payment based on the difference between the final sale price and any fees applied; and
WHEREAS, staff does not anticipate the vehicles being sold for over two thousand dollars ($2,000), but due to staff’s inability to determine exactly how much payment the City will receive from this sale, it is necessary that the City Council authorize the sale in case the sale exceeds two thousand dollars ($2,000).
NOW, THEREFORE, THE SOUTH EL MONTE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY
RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council hereby finds that the foregoing recitals are true and correct.
SECTION 2. The City Council hereby authorizes the sale of the City’s five (5) obsolete vehicles and directs the City Manager to hire an auction company to dispose of the obsolete vehicles.
