AGENDA ITEM: City Council to Authorize the Sale of Surplus Property

MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018

PREPARED BY: Ruben Chavez, Chief of Police

REVIEWED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION:

That City Council authorizes the sale of surplus property in accordance with City of Livingston Municipal Code Chapter 1-12.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Livingston replaces outdated and old furniture and equipment. The equipment which is no longer needed is kept for a short time in the event it is of value at a later time. After that point, the City has an ordinance in place to dictate how the items are to be released from City ownership.

DISCUSSION:

At any given time, the City of Livingston must in essence “clean house” to get rid of old furniture, vehicles, and computer equipment. This allows the City to either transfer the use of old equipment to another department or get rid of it all together to get the highest value at auction as well as to make space for new equipment. The Police Department recently used 9-1-1 funding to replace the equipment in the Dispatch Center. All of the old equipment needs to be surplused.

There is a lot of old furniture that was replaced that also is no longer needed by the City and ready to be surplused.

The department would like to donate one police vehicle and possibly one GMC truck to Livingston High School as they have a need in their auto shop to teach local youth mechanic skills. The old computer equipment will be surplused through an authorized recycling business. The old furniture will either be sold, donated, or disposed of.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There may be a minimal fiscal impact to place advertisements announcing sale of items two weeks prior to actual sale if this option is utilized.
