STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: REMOVAL OF SURPLUS VEHICLES FROM
PUBLIC WORKS YARD
SUBMITTED BY: Robert S. Kosoy/Director of Public Works
James E. Deming/Crew Chief/Streets &Maint. Division
DATE: February 18, 1997
BACKGROUND:
There are five vehicles stored at the Public Works yard that need to be removed and disposed of
since they are no longer of any use to the City of Atlantic Beach:
1. Fire Truck-VIN#2-1-3688-C80FUS11346 - This vehicle caught on fire and is not usable
for parts by the City.
2. P-14, 1985 Dodge Pick-Up, VIN#1B6KD34W1F5688153 -All salvageable parts have
been used from this vehicle.
3. Car 87 -Crown Vic-VIN#2FABP7266HX171491 -All salvageable parts have been
used from this vehicle.
4. TORO#1206 - 52"Deck- 17 years old, no salvageable parts.
5. Yellow Railer-No salvageable parts left.
We have contacted two firms who have offered to remove these vehicles at no charge to the
City of Atlantic Beach.
The storage space taken up by these vehicles needs to be made available for other beneficial use
and the unusable, damaged vehicles create an eyesore for the surrounding homeowners. Prior to
disposal,the vehicles need to be declared"Surplus" items by the City Commission.
RECOMMENDATION: Declare vehicles as"Surplus" and authorize staff to solicit quotes
or bids to have surplus vehicles removed.
