AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. t
For Meeting of Aug. 1, 2006
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 six 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.
