CC 2012-10-23_08.f. Surplus Vehicle to FCFAMEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN N. ANNIBALI, CHIEF OF POLlC
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION TO DECLARE A VEHICLE AS SURPLUS
PROPERTY / APPROVAL OF DONATION TO THE FIVE CITIES FIRE
AUTHORITY
DATE: OCTOBER 23, 201 2
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution declaring a 2001 Ford
Taurus as surplus and authorizing it's donation to the Five Cities Fire Authority.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There are no costs to the City associated with this proposal. The vehicle in question
was transferred in 2008 to the then Arroyo Grande Fire Department from the Police
Department. The current average trade in value of the vehicle based on the National
Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) is $1,950.
BACKGROUND:
Council approved the introduction of municipal fleet leasing for the Police
Department in June, 2008. The new fleet was obtained and put into service and
the aged former fleet was declared surplus and sold. At that time, a 2001 Ford
Taurus sedan that was no longer needed in the Police Department was transferred,
instead of being declared surplus, to the Fire Department for use as a pool vehicle.
Since that time, the Five Cities Fire Authority was formed and in order to register
the vehicle in the Authority's name, the declaration of surplus and approval of
donation is necessary.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The 2001 Ford Taurus is no longer needed in City service and therefore is available
for surplus and donation to the Five Cities Fire Authority. A recent check with Fire
Chief Aranaz and Battalion Chief Heath indicated that the vehicle has been actively
used by the Fire Authority for training and other activities since 2008. Both Fire
Chief Aranaz and Battalion Chief Heath would welcome the donation.
All other fire equipment was formally transferred to the Fire Authority when it was
formed. The only reason this vehicle was not included in that transfer is that it was
still officially titled as a Police Department vehicle. However, for all practical

purposes it had already been transferred and should have been included.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Recommended Alternative: It is recommended that the City Council adopt a
resolution declaring the used vehicle listed in Exhibit A as surplus and
authorize its donation to the Five Cities Fire Authority.
- Do not approve staff's recommendation.
- Modify as appropriate and approve staff's recommendation; or
- Provide direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
The advantage of approving the recommended action is that it will officially surplus the
vehicle and allow the vehicle to be registered by the Five Cities Fire Authority.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages have been identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3).
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The public impacted by the proposal is the Arroyo Grande Police Department's service
population. The public has been made aware of the proposal before Council by a posting
of the Agenda in the front of City Hall on Thursday, October 18, 2012 and public notice
posted on the City's website on Friday, October 19, 2012. No public input has been
received to date.
