RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommend the City Council declare certain materials and equipment as surplus personal property and authorize their sale at public auction to the highest bidder.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In support of the Blackstone McKinley BNSF Grade Separation Project (Project), the City is in escrow to acquire parcels and associated business assets located at Assessor's Parcel Numbers 451-071-07, 451-071-08, 451-071-09, 451-071-10, 451-071-23, 451-071-25, and 451-071-38 (previously owned by Rocking Rail LLC). As the use of grant funds are restricted to Project-related purposes, the business assets acquired are ineligible for general municipal use. Staff seeks Council approval to declare these materials and equipment as surplus personal property and authorize their sale at public auction. Proceeds from the sale will be returned to the Capital Improvement Project account in compliance with Measure C and California Local Partnership Program Formulaic grant requirements. The project is funded with Measure C Grade Separation Program funds, Local Partnership Program Formulaic grant funds, and by Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program grant funds.
