RECOI-IM-NDED ACTION: That the C i Ly Council concur in the decision of the City
Manager to sell one piece of surplus City property,
specifically, a 1985 Chevrolet. Caprice station wagon.
BACKGROUND INI=ORMATION: A 1986 Lhevrolet Caprice station wagon, previously used in
the City's Dial -A -Ride program, has been declared surplus,
having been replaced by a new vehicle. The surplus
vehicle had logged approximately 120,000 miles.
In the past, surplus vehicles of this type have been disposed of by auction,
typically bringing a high bid in the neighborhood of 51,200. Mr. Ray Neel,
owner -operator of the Lodi City Cab Co. which operates the Dial -A -Ride program,
expressed a strong desire to purchase the vehicle i n time for use in the
Dial -A -Ride New Year's Eve program. As property now of the City Cab Company. the
vehicle will be used in that area of M': Neel's operations. Lodi Municipal Code
Section 2.12.120 provides that the City Manager nay. upon recommendation of the
City Purchasing Officer, authorize the sale of surplus personal property havinn a
value of 52,000 or less, which is no longer required for City use. The Lode
further provides that within 30 days following the sale of any surplus City
property, the City Council shall be so notified in writing. This Council
Communication gill serve as such notificat,on.
Mr. Neel was wi 1 i ing to pdy in excess of Whdt the City could expect front an
a;,ction.
With the limit
noted above in mind,
! assigned
a value to the
vehicle of
51,995.
Mr. Neel agreed
to tris figure. The
sale will
take place or,
January 29,
1992 upon
expiratior: of a
3G -day lease of the
vehicle to
Kr. Neel for
or,L dollar.
The lease
was necessary
for accountability
purpn,es
so Mr. Neel
could have
immediate
use of the vehicle. 7r, my opinion,
this action is clearly
in the best
interest
of the City.
