MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 6, 2011
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION
TWO SURPLUS CHEVROLET
SURPLUS POLICE EQUIPMENT
TEXAS POLICE DEPARTMENT.
RECOMMENDATION:
FOR THE DONATION OF
TAHOES AND OTHER
TO THE CITY OF LYFORD,
City Council to consider a resolution for the donation of one surplus 2005 Chevrolet
Tahoe #92105 and one surplus 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe #92175 and other miscellaneous
police surplus equipment to the City of Lyford, Texas Police Department.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Lyford is a small rural community in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas,
located on Highway 77, approximately 30 miles from the border with Mexico. The City
has recently started a police department and has reached out to other police
departments to help them with any surplus equipment that municipalities can afford to
donate. They are situated on a major drug corridor and their police department can be
expected to encounter serious violators on a regular basis. This surplus equipment has
exceeded its life expectancy and is no longer used by our police department; however, it
can still be of service to an agency that has no equipment. This equipment will greatly
enhance their effectiveness and enable them to provide better service to their
community.
Unit #92105, a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe has been in service for five years and two months.
It was replaced in the fleet at the end of the FY2011 budget year. The unit has 129,000
miles and would be expected to sell at auction for $2,500 to $4,000. The police
equipment on the vehicle (seats, panels, light bar, etc) would sell for $100 to $200.
Unit #92175, a 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe has been in service for five years and eight
months. It was also replaced in the fleet at the end of the FY2011 budget year. The unit
has 136,667 miles and would be expected to sell at auction for $2,500 to $4,000. The
police equipment on the vehicle would sell for $100 to $200.
Additional surplus equipment available for donation would not be auctioned after use by
the police department. This equipment is usually destroyed or some may possibly be
held for donation to our Sister City. The surplus equipment is listed below.
(2) Overhead police emergency lights
(4) Body armor
(3) Rain coats
(1) Traffic vest
(2) Nylon gun belts with holsters, and radio, baton, flashlight, OC spray holders
