Body
SUMMARY:
The Solid Waste Department is requesting that a truck scale and baling system be declared as surplus equipment and be available for sale.
Due to the potential value of these items being greater than $5,000.00 Council’s approval is necessary for the disposal through the sale to the highest bidder.
The truck scale from our recently closed Transfer Station will be replaced by new truck scales that have been included in the scope of the Transfer Station Rebuild Project. The old scale is fully depreciated.
The baling system from the Recycling Processing Center, was the original and oldest of two balers that were on that site. It was removed when we needed to make room on the tipping floor for the increased volumes of single stream commodity. The baling system is also fully depreciated.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
No funds are required from the FY 2018/2019 Operating Budget of the Solid Waste Fund or FY 2018/2019 Operating Budget of the Recycling Fund. Proceeds from the sale of the equipment would be applied to the following revenue accounts:
• 424-364412 Solid Waste Fund - Surplus Machinery & Equipment
• 426-364412 Recycling Fund - Surplus Machinery & Equipment
