TRANSPORTATION AGENCY FOR MONTEREY COUNTY
Memorandum
To: 

Board of Directors

From:

Michael Zeller, Director of Programming & Project Delivery

Meeting Date:

October 25, 2017

Subject:

Equipment Surplus


RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Disposition of Surplus Equipment: 

  1. APPROVE Resolution 2017-24 declaring as surplus selected furniture, equipment, and computers; and
  2. AUTHORIZE the Executive Director to dispose of the surplus property in accordance with the Disposition of Surplus Property Policy, paragraph 4.
SUMMARY:
The TAMC Administrative Policies and Procedures outline the process for the Disposition of Surplus Property, and require the declaration of identified items as surplus property by resolution prior to disposition.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The items on the surplus list are worn out or have become obsolete and are no longer needed by TAMC. Many of the items are over 10 years old, and the financial impact of this surplus is not significant to the Agency. 
DISCUSSION:

The Board last approved surplus property in June of 2017. Since that time, TAMC has cleaned out the office to accommodate a new staff person, resulting in the need to dispose of obsolete equipment, e.g. book shelves, cabinets and old electronics that are no longer needed. The items on the surplus equipment list are listed in Resolution No. 2017-24 (attachment). Administrative policy for the Disposition of Property paragraph 4 states that surplus equipment may be disposed of in any combination of the following methods:

 

(a) Participation in another local agency’s public agency auction sale;

(b) Conveyance of surplus property to other government agencies, school, or non-profit organizations by direct negotiated sale;

(c) Donation of surplus property to other government agencies, schools, or non-profit organizations; or

(d) Disposition of remaining items to local landfill. 

 

Staff will offer the surplus computer to member agencies first, and then to non-profit organizations. This process will include posting notifications on the TAMC website and Facebook page, and notifying local schools and community organizations.
