CITY COUNCIL: Resolution Approving Fire Department Ford F-150 Utility Truck as Surplus & Authorizing Sale

Meeting Date: September 14, 2010
Prepared by: George Rawson,Public Safety Director

City Council
Agenda Item Summary

Name: Consideration of a Resolution approving a Fire Department Ford F-150 utility truck as surplus and authorizing its sale.

Description: Utility Truck 7191, a 1994 Ford F-150 utility/pickup truck, has primarily been used for coastal incident responses, medical responses on the beach out of the surf line, and for transporting personnel and equipment during training. Age, normal wear and tear, and several recent mechanical problems have made this truck unreliable as a fire vehicle. The Fire Department recently purchased a new 2011 Ford F350 crew cab truck to replace Truck 7191, so it can now be declared surplus and sold. Proceeds from any sale will be deposited to General Fund Account 01-46801-0003.

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

Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council approve the Resolution.

Important Considerations: The Fire Department’s aging 1994 Ford F-150 utility truck has had several recent mechanical failures that undermine its safety. It also lacks some of the most modern safety features. City Council approval is required to dispose or sell surplus equipment with a value of $1,000 or more.

Decision Record: None
