Meeting Date: 3/20/2018
FROM: Garret Olson, Fire Chief
Prepared By: James Blattler, Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: SURPLUS DESIGNATION OF FLEET ASSET BY SALE, AUCTION OR
TRADE-IN
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the surplus designation of the Fire Department’s Fleet Asset No. 9709, a 1997 Pierce
Lance Pumper, by sale, auction, trade-in or other method in accordance with the City’s policies
and procedures as prescribed in the Financial Management Manual Section 405-L and 480.
DISCUSSION
Per the City’s Financial Management Manual Section 405-F, “Fleet Use Target Guidelines
Before Replacement”, front-line fire pumper trucks should be replaced after 16 years with an
allowed additional 4 years of backup service. To ensure sustainability of engine services to the
City, the Fire Department maintains a fleet which includes one (1) reserve fire pumper to be used
when a front-line engine is undergoing maintenance or repairs.
The Fire Department’s Fleet Asset No. 9707, a 1997 Pierce Lance Pumper, was placed in reserve
status on August 24, 2014 after 16 years of front-line service. Engine 2 is currently being
replaced with a front-line Quint (fire pumper with aerial ladder) as part of the Department’s fleet
consolidation plan and will soon be placed in reserve status, thus allowing for the surplus
designation of Fleet Asset No. 9709.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the recommended action in this
report, because the action does not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines sec. 15278.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no net-negative fiscal impact anticipated. The sale, auction, trade-in or other method of
disposal will result in an estimated $7,000 increase of the “Fleet Sale of Surplus Property”
revenue fund.
ALTERNATIVES
Deny surplus fleet designation. The City Council could choose to deny or defer the surplus
designation of the 1997 Pierce Lance Pumper. This alternative is not recommended by City Staff,
as denying or deferring will only result in a decrease in value of the vehicle.
