| Section 2.52.070 of the AMC authorizes the Purchasing
Agent to dispose of surplus personal property by any means determined to
be in the best interests of the City. If such property has a residual value
greater than $10,000, City Council authorization will be obtained prior to
disposal.
Attached is a list of personal property purchased or acquired through
normal city operations that has been considered surplus by the custodial
department.
The Manner of Disposal column identifies how the piece of equipment
is expected to be disposed. This may change depending on the circumstances
at the time of transaction with staff being mindful of the cost to liquidate
and the net proceeds. A preference is given to other government agencies
if an amount near the estimated value can be obtained. Trade-ins are done
when replacing the unit garners adequate proceeds for the old item.
Old transformers need to be disposed of in an appropriate manner to
responsible parties and can be costly. In this case we will receive $632.
Finally, the obsolete test equipment will be donated to the Northwest
Lineman's College for further service as instructional equipment. Staff
recommends this professional contribution. |
