Currently <br />out-of-service, the items are being stored at the Public Works Service Center . <br />All vehicles recommended for surplus have reached the end of their useful lives and meet the <br />criteria of the City’s vehicle replacement policy . This includes the number of miles on each <br />vehicle, increasing maintenance costs, and other factors. In addition, each unit is fully <br />depreciated. Based on discussions with both school districts over the past few years about <br />their vehicle needs, the Public Works Director determined that these vehicles would not be of <br />interest to either district. <br />Section 1-6-500 of the San Leandro Municipal Code authorizes the purchasing agent to sell <br />surplus items at public auction. If staff’s recommendation is approved , said vehicles will be <br />sold at public auction by First Capitol Auctions in Vallejo , CA on December 14, 2013. Public <br />notice of the auction and auction preview will be posted on the City’s web site . <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The sale of these items at auction generates a moderate amount of one-time revenue. <br />Although there is no guarantee on the revenues that an auction can generate, prior auctions <br />of similar size have seen returns in the range of $35,000 to $65,000. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 10/29/2013
