R - DONNER
Public Utility District I
CONSENT
To: Board of Directors
From: Kathleen Neus
Date: April 16, 2014
Subject: Consideration of Declaring Equipment Surplus
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
Only the Board can declare equipment with value in excess of$1,000 surplus.
2. HISTORY
The District has adopted a policy for the disposal of surplus property. Section
8.20.010.2 of the District Code states that for items with an estimated value in excess
of$1,000 per item, the General Manager shall direct that a Board action declaring the
items surplus be placed on an agenda for Board review and approval.
3. NEW INFORMATION
In December of 2011 the District purchased a bi-directional tractor with a snow blower
and 9' blade attachment.
The 9' blade was awkward and cumbersome for snow removal. Additionally, with
development over the years there is now fewer places to push snow. The Water
Department relies more and more on the snow blower attachment.
The blade has been sitting in the yard, unused for the last few years. Jim Wilson
contacted Reiner Equipment Company, the company who supplied the equipment, to
discuss options regarding the blade. Reiner Equipment has found a buyer for the
blade.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
There is a minor monetary impact associated with the sale of the surplus equipment.
The blade cost the District $8,400 at the time of purchase; the estimated resale value
is $8,000.
The funds from the sale shall go to the Water Vehicle Replacement Fund.
5. RECOMMENDATION
Declare the equipment as surplus and direct the General Manager to dispose of the
goods in accordance with District policy.
Michael D. Holley
General Manager
