CITY COUNCIL: Resolution Approving a 1988 Beck Fire Engine Truck as Surplus & Authorizing Sale

Meeting Date: March 6, 2012
Prepared by: Deanna Allen, Finance Specialist


City Council
Agenda Item Summary



Name: Consideration of a Resolution approving a 1988 Beck Fire Engine truck as surplus and authorizing its sale.

Description: Fire Engine Truck 7113, a 1988 Beck Engine truck, has primarily been used for incident responses, medical responses, and for transporting personnel and equipment during training. Through age, normal wear and tear, this truck has become unreliable as a fire vehicle. The Fire Department recently merged with Monterey Fire and replaced Truck 7113, 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 1988 Beck Engine truck has been determined it is unsafe due to age and wear and tear. It also lacks some of the most modem safety features. City Council approval is required to dispose or sell surplus equipment with a value of $1,000 or more.

Decision Record: None
