BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
The County’s Purchasing & Contracting Policy Manual states that any item of personal property of an estimated value of $3,000 or more may be declared surplus by the Board of Supervisors. The RMA is responsible to sell, trade (subject to the limitations under Section 6.1 of the County’s Purchasing Policy Manual), or otherwise dispose of the surplus item(s) by whatever method and procedure that will, in his/her judgment, return the greatest value to the County.
Government Code § 25372. "Donation and leasing of surplus personal property and real property; Donations of surplus computer equipment to persons receiving public benefits under specified programs", states the following:
(a) Except as restricted by any conditions by which the county acquired the property, the board of supervisors may donate or lease any real or personal property that the board declares to be surplus to any public agency or organization exempt from taxation listed in subdivision (b). The board may impose on the donation or lease any terms and conditions that it determines to be appropriate.
(b) This section applies to all of the following:
The Sheriff’s Office has notified the RMA of vehicles that are no longer being used and desires to dispose of them. California Government Code Section 25372, authorizes the Board of Supervisors, by majority vote, to donate any real or personal property that the Board declares to be surplus to public agencies, public school, and any organization exempt from taxation pursuant to 26 U.S.C. Sec. 501(c) (3. The RMA has identified the Special Olympics as an exempt organization, to donate the vehicle to.
