Date: November 6, 2012

Prepared by: Stu Ross,

Public Works Superintendent

City Council

Agenda Item Summary

Name: Consideration of a Resolution approving a Public Works Dodge pickup truck as surplus and authorizing its sale.

Description: The Public Works Superintendent's truck, a 2000 Dodge Ram pickup, has primarily been used by the Public Works Superintendent for inspections. Age, normal wear and tear, and several recent mechanical problems have made this vehicle unreliable. The Public Works Department has purchased a new Ford pickup truck in Fiscal Year 2012/2013 to replace the 2000 Dodge Ram Pickup, so it may now be declared surplus and sold. Proceeds from any sale will be deposited in General Fund Account 01-46801-0003 .

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

Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this Resolution.

Important Considerations: The Public Works Department's aging 2000 Dodge Ram pickup truck has had several recent mechanical failures that undermine its efficiency and safety. The approval of City Council is required to dispose or sell surplus equipment with a value of $1,000 or more.

Decision Record: None
