Subject: Declaring water system material as surplus
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
This item recommends that certain water system material be declared surplus and
disposed of in accordance with District policy. Only the Board can declare material as
surplus.
2. HISTORY
The District has adopted the attached policy governing the disposal of surplus property.
It calls for the General Manager and staff of the District to evaluate the continued need
for material, and if any items are found to be unnecessary to submit a report and draft
resolution to the Board for its consideration and action.
3. NEW INFORMATION
After the storms in November and December the warehousemen were able to organize
the warehouse and came across some old material that occupies a lot of space. This
material besides being old is no longer being used by the District. We are not sure that
this material even has salvage value, the wrapping is coming off.
The material is what they call “tar and wrapped.” It is welded steel that has been
wrapped with cloth and then tarred. This material was originally given to the District
when the Tahoe Donner water system became part of the Truckee Donner PUD. The
District is now using ductile iron and has no need for this material.
Attached is a list of the material that we suggest be declared surplus. It has a value of
$3,874.24
4. RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the Board adopt the attached resolution declaring certain water
system material as surplus and directing the General manager to dispose of it in
accordance with District policy.
