SUBJECT:
title
Resolution Declaring Property of the City of Joliet as Surplus (Tri-County Auto Theft Taskforce)
end
BACKGROUND:
The Tri-County Auto Theft Taskforce is 100% funded by a grant that the City receives from the State of Illinois Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Council. The Taskforce will be trading in 2 vehicles that were previously purchased with grant funds. They will be securing a new 2025 Dodge from Tayor Dodge. Their purchase will be made using their 2025 grant funds that expire on June 30, 2025. Grant expenditures are approved by the Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Council and the Tri-County Auto Theft Board. Since Tri-County is not a legal entity, the City of Joliet is the grantee and the vehicles are titled to the City. This grant is restricted for the sole purpose of funding the Tri-County Taskforce. This resolution authorizes the surplus of these vehicles allowing them to be traded in.
This item will be reviewed by the Finance Committee on April 15, 2025
CONCLUSION:
Based on the above, this item will allow Tri-County Auto Theft Taskforce to update their fleet utilizing State of Illinois Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Council grant funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
Tri-County Auto Theft Taskforce is recommending this item for approval.
