INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
CITY OF EVANSTON
DATE: August 25, 2005
TO: Julia A. Carroll, City Manager
FROM: Catherine S. Radek, Superintendent
Administrative Services
SUBJECT: Request to Declare City Property Surplus
The intent of this memorandum is to request declaration by the City Council at its
September 12 and September 26, 2005 meetings various items of City property as surplus
so that the vehicles and equipment can be publicly offered for sale at the October 1, 2005,
Lake County, IL municipal auction. We typically participate in three auctions each year,
one in the spring, one in August and one in the fall (October). We have had excellent
results on sales in Lake County/northern Illinois areas because of the people attending
those auctions. We have found a substantial landscape business base as well as farmers
in that area who purchase our trucks and other equipment. Further, these auctions
typically attract at least 550 registered buyers. By selling items now, we reduce the
• storage time as well as get our items into the market place where they can receive more
buyer interest and better resale value. Items to be declared surplus, as follows:
1) Unit #952, a 1992 backhoe loader that has been replaced with a 2004 Deere
backhoe loader.
2) Unit #252, a 1994 Ford F250 truck with a utility body that has been replaced with
a 2006 Ford F350 truck with a utility body.
3) Unit #250, a 1994 cargo van that has been replaced with 2006 Ford cargo van.
4) Unit #258, a 1995 truck with a utility body that has been replaced with a 2005
Ford truck with a utility body.
5) The following 14 police cars that have been replaced with 2005 Ford Crown
Victoria sedans, #40, 41, 42, 44, 86, 79, 116, 21, 26, 27, 28, 13, 14, 99.
6) Unit # 536, a 1999 Ford F 550 truck with refuse packer that has been replaced
with a 2005 Ford truck with refuse packer.
7) Obsolete equipment from the Service Center, as follows: compressor dryer,
• cutting torch tank cart, bumper from #529 replaced by liftgate, traffic line painter
replaced in 2004, Olathe ground tiller and seed spreader.
