Resolution Declaring Certain Items as Surplus Property 1. Adopt Resolution 2. Authorize Staff to proceed with transfer of property to auction company FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Pursuant to the Dublin Municipal Code proceeds from the sale of surplus property will accrue in the General Fund and Equipment Replacement Fund. DESCRIPTION: Staff has identified city owned surplus property items that would be appropriate to forward to an auction firm for disposal. Consistent with past practice Staff proposes to transfer all items to a single professional auction firm. There are various items of surplus property currently being stored at city facilities that can be disposed of at this time. The need for storage space requires the City to periodically dispose of stored, unused items. Surplus items currently being stored at City facilities include electronics, office machines, office furniture, vehicles (including police patrol vehicles) and heavy equipment. The City's purchasing ordinance allows for auctioning of items declared surplus. Professional auction companies complete marketing and advertising for the auctions, and arrange for pickup and transportation of property and vehicles to the auction facilities for preparation for sale. In the past, auctioneers have successfully sold all surplus items. Recommendation Staff requests that the City Council adopt the attached resolution declaring certain items surplus property, and authorize the transfer of these items to a professional auction company for sale. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COpy TO: Page 1 of 1 ITEM NO.
