MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN N. ANNIBALI, CHIEF OF POLICE
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION TO DECLARE AN EXISTING COMMAND TRAILER
AS SURPLUS PROPERTY/AUTHORIZE TRANSFER TO THE CITY
OF SAN LUIS OBISPO AND ACCEPT A HOMELAND SECURITY
FUNDED COMMAND TRAILER FROM THE SAN LUIS OBISPO
COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT
DATE: OCTOBER 11, 2016
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council: 1) adopt a Resolution declaring an existing
command trailer as surplus and authorizing its transfer to the City of San Luis
Obispo; and 2) accept a Homeland Security funded Command Trailer as a
replacement from the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Department.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
This declaration of surplus property and accepting a replacement will have no
significant impact on the Police Department budget and there is no impact on
personnel resources.
BACKGROUND:
The equipment listed as surplus in Exhibit A has been determined to no longer be
needed in the police department and is scheduled to be replaced with a grant
funded, better equipped model from the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s
Department. The surplus trailer was originally obtained by the police department
through a State of California /Office of Traffic Safety DUI Enforcement grant.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The surplus trailer cannot be sold and will be repurposed for the San Luis Obispo
Police Department. The California Office of Traffic Safety Regional Coordinator has
approved the transfer of the trailer asset to the San Luis Obispo Police Department
to be used in their enforcement programs.

The replacement trailer proposed to be provided by the San Luis Obispo County
Sheriff’s Department is a 2006 Eagle Model CCH from Universal Specialty Vehicles,
Inc. (VIN # 1U9710S2261016001). The trailer is 30 feet long and configured as a
mobile command post. It is fully self-contained, with a dispatch area,
briefing/conference space, kitchen, restroom and includes county-wide public safety
radio systems on board.
The replacement trailer is designed to provide field expedient response capabilities
during critical incidents and vastly improves the City’s disaster preparedness /
emergency management resources.
The police department currently has a Ford F-550 Super Duty truck in the fleet that
is capable of towing the replacement trailer.
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 equipment listed in Exhibit A as surplus property
and authorize its transfer, and to accept a replacement command trailer
from the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Department.
- Do not approve staff’s recommendation.
- Provide direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
The advantage of approving the recommended action is that it will provide for the
disposition of surplus property and improve emergency response resources through grant
funding.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages have been identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This project is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
