AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 13
For Meeting of July 3, 2007
ITEM TITLE: Consideration of a Resolution Transferring a Surplus Used Police Van to the
Yakima County Sheriff's 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 Yakima County Sheriff's Department for
the transfer of a used police van. This van is a 1991 Grumman, 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 and condition would bring in little money.
We believe it is in the spirit of cooperation and public safety to donate this vehicle to the Yakima
County Sheriff's Dept. instead of auctioning it. It will be of more use in protecting life and property
if donated to the Sheriff's Department than the benefit we would gain by the small amount of
revenue we would realize in auctioning it.
