Declaration of Surplus and Authorize Donation: Fire Safety Gear and Equipment
end
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:
Summary Recommendation
Authorize the donation of various safety equipment that is no longer needed at the Yuma Fire Department to the Los Algodones, Mexicali B.C. Fire Department. (John Louser/Robin R. Wilson)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
Donating this equipment to a neighboring local community to meet the needs of their emergency responses furthers the City Council’s strategic outcome of Respected and Responsible as the benefit to the greater Yuma community is far greater than the value of the surplus.
REPORT:
The Yuma Fire Department has identified various tools and equipment as surplus. The fair market value of this surplus equipment is approximately $7,940. These items are no longer essential to the department’s operations and have been replaced or deemed unnecessary.
The community of Algodones, Mexico, has expressed an urgent need for emergency response equipment. Due to limited financial capacity and infrastructure, Algodones is unable to obtain such equipment independently. The Yuma Fire Department requests that the surplus equipment be donated to Algodones to support their emergency response capabilities.
Pursuant to Yuma City Code Chapter 38-01, City Council must authorize the donation or sale of surplus property with a value of $2,500.00 or more. As this equipment has a fair market value of approximately $7,940, only City Council can authorize the donation to Algodones as surplus property.
