Title
Staff Report for Resolution Declaring As Surplus Nine Vehicles And One Street Striper And Authorizing The Sale Thereof At Public Auction.
Staffreport
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends the City Council declare certain vehicles and equipment surplus and authorize sale of said vehicles and equipment at public auction. There are six police units, two pickup trucks, an aerial truck, and a street striper unit ready for sale by means of public auction. Since being taken out of service over the past year, these units have been stored at the Public Works Service Center.
All vehicles recommended for surplus reached the end of their useful lives over the past year after meeting the criteria of the City’s vehicle replacement policy. Criteria include the number of miles on each vehicle, increasing maintenance costs, and other factors. In addition, each unit is fully depreciated.
Section 1-6-500 of the San Leandro Municipal Code, authorizes the Purchasing Agent to sell surplus items at public auction. If staff’s recommendation to declare the equipment as surplus is approved by the City Council, a public auction will be scheduled for January 28, 2012. Public notice of the auction and an auction preview will be posted on the City’s web site.
