RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve as follows:
- The Sale of the crane and two tugs in the amount of $6,000.00 and $1,000.00 respectively and the proceeds of the sale to be deposited into the expense account 100-2102-215-00-40514 for the Hawthorne Police Department (Detective Bureau Contract Services)
- The sale of the platform in the amount of $3,000.00 and the proceeds of the sale be deposited in the expense account 230-2102-244-4740 for Hawthorne Police Department (Asset Forfeiture Machinery & Equipment).
DISCUSSION:
The Hawthorne Police Department is requesting to sell the following equipment: crane, platform, and two tugs that were previously used in the maintenance, movement, and housing of related equipment.
As these items are no longer needed for the public use or maintenance purposes by the Police Department, the Police Department has decided to sell these items to reallocate resources more efficiently and avoid potential maintenance or liability issues.
The platform must remain a separate transaction from the sale of the crane and tugs. The platform was purchased using asset forfeiture funds, and these funds cannot be commingled with other funds. As such, the crane and tugs are being sold separately from the platform to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
