Donation of City Property
City Council Agenda
Item No. 15
February 8, 2000
Recommendation
Approve the donation of the property on the attached list to the Newport-Mesa Unified School District.
Background
The Equipment Maintenance Division is currently equipped to conduct smog testing of the City's
operating fleet. In 1998, the City invested in the purchase of new smog testing equipment required by
changes in State smog testing requirements. As a result of the new requirements, some of the City's
testing equipment became obsolete.
In April 1999, the City Council approved the donation of one of the obsolete units to the Newport-
Mesa Unified School District ( NMUSD).
Staff has identified two additional testing units that are obsolete, as well as two parts washing bins that
are no longer of use to the City. Staff contacted the NMUSD who has confirmed their interest in
obtaining the equipment with the attached letter.
Discussion
Per Council Policy F -11, Donations made by the City must be approved by the City Council and
whenever possible, local charities and homeowners associations will be given first choice. This
current donation request is consistent with Council Policy.
Typically, the smog testing equipment would be disposed of at auction. Staff has identified estimated
disposal values for each equipment item (see attached). However, because of the obsolete nature of the
equipment, staff also anticipates that the equipment may not necessarily generate the estimated values
sold at auction, and the City would be better served by the proposed donation to an educational
institution.
Very respectfully,
J
David E. Niederhaus
