Item No. f i Li tl
For Meeting of May 3, 2005
ITEM TITLE: Consideration of a Resolution Declaring Certain Used Police Vehicles
Surplus and Authorizing the City Manager to allow the Washington
State Department of General Services Administration to Sell or
Auction these Vehicles.
SUBMITTED BY: Chief Granato, Police Department
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Capt. Jeff Schneider - 575-6151
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Police Department has nine used vehicles, which are no longer needed or fit for police service.
Several of these vehicles have bad engines and other major mechanical problems. All of these vehicles
have very high mileage and 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.
