AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. /FI
For Meeting of October 3, 2006
ITEM TITLE: Consideration of a Resolution Transferring a Surplus Used Police Truck to
the Ellensburg Police Department.
SUBMITTED BY: Chief Granato, Police Department
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Capt. Jeff Schneider - 575-6151
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Police Department has received a request from the Ellensburg Police Department for the
transfer of a used police truck. This truck is a 1984 Ford converted ambulance, which is no longer
needed or used by the Yakima Police Department and is surplus. Normally this vehicle would be
auctioned off, but due to its age would bring in little money.
We believe it is in the spirit of cooperation and public safety to donate this vehicle to the
Ellensburg Police Dept. instead of auctioning it. It will be of more use in protecting life and
property if donated to Ellensburg than the benefit we would gain by the small amount of revenue
we would realize in auctioning it.
