DATE: January 18,2012 FROM: Randy McCulley Road: 541.325.7125 TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of Board Signature of Order No.20 12-008, 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 of2009 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.
