Discussion:
On 14 September 2006, the City Council approved the declaration of existing furnishings in the
North Wing and Planning Conference Rooms as surplus property, and authorized staff to
donate the items to the non-profit organization, Joslyn Senior Center. The Joslyn Senior Center
representative did not display interest in the Public Works conference table and chairs.
Since then, staff has had a request for furnishings from The Institute for Sales and Service
Excellence. The Institute is a new facility that recently opened on 27 October 2006. The Institute
would like to use the table and chairs located in Public Works and the chairs located in the
Council Offices Conference Room. These furnishings will be used for educational service
training for the local service industries in the Coachella Valley.
