Body
COUNTY AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Improve County Government Operations.
Operate in a Fiscally-Responsible and Business-Like Manner.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The fully depreciated asset value is estimated at $60,000 based on proceeds from recent auctions of similar fixed assets. The funds raised by the sale of the fixed assets will be returned to the San Bernardino County Flood Control District’s (District) Zone 2 Fund (1920002522) to assist in the purchase of future modular buildings as needed.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The District owns and operates equipment and assets pursuant to its mission of maintaining and operating District facilities. District staff has determined that it is no longer economically beneficial to the District to continue to maintain and/or repair the surplus assets identified in this item.
The cost of repairing the roof and floors exceeds the current value of each section of the modular building and is nearly equivalent to the cost of purchasing a new unit. Additionally, the existing space no longer meets the District’s needs. A bid has been submitted for a new building (consisting of four modular buildings) to replace the four modular buildings being declared a surplus. If the Recommendations are approved and the current units are declared surplus, the District will proceed with ordering the new building.
Once approved for surplus, the assets will be sent to the County’s contracted auction vendors for disposition, coordinated through the Purchasing Department.
PROCUREMENT
Not applicable.
