CITY COUNCIL: Resolution Approving Public Works GMC Street Sweeper Truck as Surplus & Authorizing Sale

Date: January 10, 2012
Prepared by: Stu Ross, Public Works Superintendent

City Council
Agenda Item Summary

Name: Consideration of a Resolution approving the Public Works GMC Street Sweeper truck as surplus and authorizing its sale.

Description: The City's 2000 GMC Sweeper utility truck has primarily been used for street cleanup. Age, normal wear and tear, and several recent mechanical problems have made this truck unreliable as a street sweeper vehicle. The Public Works Department recently purchased a new 2011 TYMCO Air Sweeper truck to replace the 2000 GMC Sweeper, 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 Public Works Department's aging 2000 GMC Sweeper utility truck has had several recent mechanical failures that undermine its efficiency and safety. City Council approval is required to dispose or sell surplus equipment with a value of $1,000 or more.

Decision Record: None
