Body
COUNTY AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Operate in a Fiscally-Responsible and Business-Like Manner.
Provide for the Safety, Health and Social Service Needs of County Residents.
Pursue County Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Agencies and Stakeholders.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of these actions will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The Fontana Unified School District will be responsible for the vehicle title transfer costs. The County normally sells surplus vehicles and other equipment through contracted auction services. Although the listed vehicles are fully depreciated, they are shown with an estimated Kelly Blue Book value, that is not representative of the actual amounts received by the County when sold in auction, which tend to be lower.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Fontana School Police Department (FSPD) is a State of California-approved agency in accordance with the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) and is the primary law enforcement agency for the Fontana Unified School District.
On April 16, 2025, FSPD sent a request for surplus vehicles to the Sheriff/Coroner/Public Administrator (Department). The Department identified the vehicles listed in Recommendation No. 1 as those that have reached the end of their useful lives and have been replaced with new vehicles. FSPD agreed to accept the vehicles in “as is” condition and release the County of any liability as a condition of accepting the donation.
Approval of Recommendation No. 1 will declare the vehicles as surplus to the County’s needs. County Policy 12-18 (Policy) requires property with an estimated value of $10,000 or more to be declared surplus by the Board of Supervisors and requires the Purchasing Agent to initiate action to move property as designated in this item, or to arrange for disposition. Approval of Recommendation Nos. 2 and 3 will approve the waiver of the Policy and authorize the Department to complete the donation and title transfer of the vehicles to FSPD.
PROCUREMENT
Not applicable.
