DATE:
BACKGROUND:
February 18, 1997
There aze five vehicles stored at the Public Works yazd that need to be removed and disposed of
since they are no longer of any use to the City of Atlantic B<;ach:
Fire Truck -VIN #2-1-3688-C80FUS 11346 - This vehicle caught on fire and is not usable
for parts by the City.

4. TORO # 1206 - 52" Deck - 17 years old, no salvageable parts.
5. Yellow Railer - No salvageable parts left.
We have contacted two fums 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 thr, surrounding homeowners. Prior to
disposal, the vehicles need to be declazed "Surplus" items b!~ the City Commission.
RECOMMENDATION: Declare vehicles as "Surplus" and authorize staffto solicit quotes
or bids to have surplus vehicles removed.
