SUBMITTED BY: Chief Granato, Police Department CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Capt. Jeff Schneider, 575-6151 SUMMARY EXPLANATION: The Police Department has four used vehicles, which are no longer fit for police service. Several of these vehicles have bad engines and other major mechanical problems. All of these vehicles are in poor condition. The Department requests that these vehicles be declared surplus and removed from our inventory. The Department also would like to allow the Washington State Department of General Services Administration to sell or auction these vehicles for the City at their surplus property facility in Kent. It has been the Police Department's experience that used vehicles bring significantly higher sales and auction prices at the Kent facility than we receive locally.
