DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The Vacaville Fire Protection District recommends that the Board of Directors:
1) Declare one 1990 Westates Fire Engine, one 1988 Beck Fire Engine, one 1984 Pierce Fire Engine, one 2007 Ford F-350 pickup truck, one 1992 Ford F-350 pickup truck, and one skid-mounted pump and tank unit as surplus District property; and
2) Authorize the Interim Fire Chief, or designee, to dispose of the surplus property in a manner that serves the best interest of the District, including transfer or donation to other public agencies or training programs, or recycling or disposing of items valued less than $500, and sale of items valued at $500 or more through public auction or other competitive process, and to execute any documents necessary to effectuate such disposition.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Vacaville Fire Protection District periodically reviews its inventory of property to ensure that all assets remain safe, functional, and aligned with current operational needs. Through this review process, staff has identified certain property that is no longer serviceable, has reached the end of its useful life, has become obsolete, or is no longer required due to operational changes or replacement with newer property. The District is asking the Board of Directors to authorize the disposal of this surplus property. Any revenues generated by the disposition will be deposited in the District’s general fund.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no anticipated negative fiscal impact associated with this action. Any revenue generated through the sale of surplus property will be returned to the District’s general fund. Disposal will reduce ongoing maintenance, storage, and administrative costs associated with retaining obsolete property.
The costs associated with preparing the agenda item are nominal and absorbed by the District’s FY2025/26 Working Budget.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could choose to retain the property; however, this would result in continued storage and maintenance costs.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None.
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION
