title

Resolution Declaring Certain City of Joliet Property as Surplus

end

 

BACKGROUND:

The City of Joliet’s Purchasing Ordinance #7345, Section 2-435, provides in part that; “when the City Council determined that any personal property with a remaining value is no longer necessary or useful to the City of Joliet,” the property shall be declared surplus property by Resolution.

 

The Public Service Committee will review this matter.

 

CONCLUSION:

The Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events has identified a substantial inventory of items that are no longer usable for Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park programming. There are currently over three hundred seventy-five (375) costumes, props and related materials that have been removed from service due to contamination, damage, being deemed beyond repair, equipment failure, or other issues. Usable parts have already been salvaged from these units.

 

At this time, the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events seek authorization to declare various costumes, props, and related materials as surplus property and dispose of them appropriately.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

recommendation

Based on the above it is recommended that the Mayor and City Council approve a Resolution Declaring Certain City of Joliet Property as Surplus.
