Agenda Item Summary

Name: Consideration of a Resolution approving Fire Department equipment as surplus and authorizing its sale valued at $7,950 to the City of Pacific Grove.

Description: Fire Captain Ian Watts conducted a needs assessment for Carmel’s Fire Department and determined that the City has six extra self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and three spare cylinders. The value of the surplus equipment is $7,200 for the six SCBA units and $750 for the three cylinders, for a total of $7,950. This value is based on a quote from a local distributor and from a fire department in Michigan that has similar units.

The City of Pacific Grove is looking to purchase extra SCBA units and cylinders and has offered to purchase the units and cylinders for $7,950. In compliance with Carmel-by-the-Sea Municipal Code Section 3.12.190, City Council approval is required to sell this surplus equipment. This Resolution declares the equipment as surplus and authorizes staff to sell this equipment to the City of Pacific Grove. Proceeds from any sales will be deposited to General Fund account 01-46801-0003.

Overall Cost: City Funds: N/A
Grant Funds: N/A

Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends Council approve the Resolution.

Important Considerations: The six SCBA units and the three spare cylinders are deemed to be surplus equipment by Carmel’s Fire Department. City Council approval is required to dispose or sell surplus equipment with a value of $1,000 or more.
