RESOLUTION 17-23 <br />A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO AUCTION, TRANSFER, <br />DONATE, OR RECYCLE/DISPOSE OF SURPLUS VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT <br />WHEREAS, Section 2-4.06 of the Municipal Code provides the City Manager with the option of <br />selling surplus properties by soliciting bids; and <br />WHEREAS, in the event the value of the property to be sold is estimated at more than five <br />hundred dollars ($500), the sale shall be subject to the approval of the City Council; and <br />WHEREAS, the Town currently uses eBay to auction surplus properties. eBay's transparency, <br />reputation, and ability to collect funds is a more efficient alternative to a privately held auction <br />house; and <br />WHEREAS, from the recent Town Hall renovation and furniture/space upgrade projects and also <br />due to the age and condition of certain Town fleet vehicles, the Public Works Department has <br />identified a number of Town equipment and vehicles as surplus properties; and <br />WHEREAS, the following surplus items have been identified as having an estimated value of <br />more than $500: <br />1. 1995 Case 580L Backhoe— The Town purchased this equipment for earth moving and lifting <br />activities. The equipment has 4013 hours of use, and it is no longer fully operational and <br />does not meet new CA emissions regulations. The Town has a newer John Deere Backhoe <br />to perform the same tasks. <br />2. 2004 Ford Escape Hybrid — The Town purchased this vehicle for daily field inspections. <br />The vehicle has 50,724 miles on its odometer and is no longer operational. It has been <br />replaced by the Kia Niro EV, leased in 2022. <br />3. Ziemanm SE 16' Trailer — Equipment is no longer fully operational.

Miscellaneous Office Furniture — Furniture items replaced by new furniture during the latest <br />Town Hall renovation and furniture/space projects.
