STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Declare Surplus of Goods from Offices in the Public Works
Department and Authorize Donation to Charitable Organizations
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E., Director of Public Works
DATE: October 23, 2008
CONTENTS: Exhibit A
Recommendation:
That City Council, by Minute Motion:
1. Declare the furnishings and miscellaneous items from the offices
in the Public Works Department, as described in Exhibit A, surplus
property; and
2. Authorize staff to donate the items to Shelter from the Storm and
other non-profit organizations within the Coachella Valley.
Executive Summary:
Approval of staff's recommendation will allow the City to offer surplus office furnishings
to Shelter from the Storm and other charitable organizations within the Coachella
Valley.
Discussion:
The Public Works Department is in the process of a major office remodeling project that
will include the purchase of new office furnishings. Staff received a request from non-
profit organization Shelter from the Storm that we consider donating any surplus goods
that become available as a result of the remodel. Shelter from the Storm was sent
pictures of the desks, chairs, book cases, filing cabinets and other miscellaneous
furnishings that are scheduled for disposal, and that organization has expressed its
desire for many of the items. Staff requests that all of these furnishings be declared
surplus property and that any items not needed by Shelter from the Storm be donated to
other non-profit organizations in the Coachella Valley.

are no longer needed.
Therefore, staff recommends that City Council declare certain furnishings and
miscellaneous items, as described in Exhibit A, surplus property and authorize staff to
donate the items to Shelter from the Storm and other non-profit organizations within
the Coachella Valley.
