AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board Business Meeting of November 24, 2014
Please see directions for completing this document on the next page.
DATE: November 12,2014
FROM: Randy McCulley Road: 541.325.7125
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of Board Signature of Order No. 2014-031, declaring certain Deschutes County personal
property surplus and authorizing sale through PublicSurplus.com.
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? No.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Deschutes County Code 2.37.110 sets out the methods that the County can use to dispose of surplus
property, including the use of public auctions. Current technology allows the use of online aution
websites, such as PublicSurplus.com, which enables the Road Deparment to quickly auction surplus
property that would otherwise devalue and be exposed to the elements as it sits idle. We have
experienced significant damage due to pack rats building nests in engine compartments of surplus
county vehicles. Damage includes smell, chewed essential wiring, and fire hazard. This raises cost of
preparation for auction and decreases the market value of the vehicle. See "Exhibit A" attached. Items
are chosen for surplus auction because they are no longer of useful value to the County due to high
maintenance costs, obsolete equipment, safety, or changing needs.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Road Department has successfully used PublicSurplus.com since January of 2009 and has been
successful in selling the surplus equipment and vehicles. PublicSurplus.com imposes a 7% surcharge at
the time of sale on top of the purchase price. This surcharge is paid by the purchaser.
The revenue collected for the items sold is applied to the department that made the original purchase of
the vehicle or equipment and has not been budgeted.
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve and sign Order No. 2014-031
