Summary AMEND/APPROVE 5
– 1 (Schellenberg) 1.
Correct vehicle name & number in
bill 2.
Attach corrected surplus form There was a lengthy discussion on the philosophy of
actually giving a vehicle from the City’s fleet away at no cost. It was explained that this practice of
conveying surplus vehicles to non-profits or other governmental entities had
been in place for a number of years.
Council Member Schellenberg
contended that times had changed, that the economic climate had changed
significantly. He felt that the
vehicle in question should be paid for by the recipient. Mr. A. L. Kelly of the Public Defender’s
Office, 4th Circuit, explained that considering that the Public
Defender’s Office has to pay for repairs and upkeep of the vehicle, the fuel
and other expenses, in the long run, the City actually comes out ahead. Council Member Jim Love spoke in favor of conveying the
vehicle. |
