Title
DECLARATION OF SURPLUS AND/OR OBSOLETE EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS AND AUTHORIZING THE SALE THEREOF.
Body
BACKGROUND: Section 8-301 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Norman provides that “The City Council must declare surplus or obsolete any supplies, materials, or equipment where the valuation exceeds one thousand dollars ($1,000) prior to the selling of such supplies, materials, or equipment.” The attached items from the Sanitation Division will be sold for scrap at a local scrap dealer.
DISCUSSION: The Sanitation Division has a large number of dumpsters that are very old and that no longer have serial numbers on them. Over the years, the dumpsters have been kept in a large pile even though they are beyond repair. In order to clean out the site, the Sanitation Division is requesting that Council declare the dumpsters as surplus property so they may be sold for scrap. This item includes two photos showing the dumpsters to be sold for scrap.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the dumpsters depicted in the photos be declared surplus or obsolete, and approved for sale.
