SUBJECT:
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 determines 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:
There are currently thirty-three (33) vehicles or pieces of equipment that have been taken out of service for various reasons, i.e., accident damage / totaled, beyond repair, mechanical failure, etc. The vehicles have been used for all available parts. At this time, the Fleet Services Director is recommending that those that can be sold at auction be auctioned on-line via GovDeals or be taken to the Clinton Auto Auction (the company that is utilized by the Police Department to sell asset forfeiture vehicles through and who will pick up surplus vehicles) and the remainder of the vehicles be sold as scrap. Since there is a fee for Clinton Auto Auction to pick up the vehicles, those where the City would lose money will be sold as scrap.
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
Based on the above it is recommended that the attached Resolution declaring property therein as surplus property be approved.
