SUBJECT:
SALE OF SURPLUS POLICE EQUIPMENT
SUMMARY:
Sell used/surplus Tustin Police Vehicles to the Public Safety Department of Allan
Hancock College.
RECOMMENDATION:
The authorization to sell two (2) surplus Tustin Police units to Allan Hancock Community
College, in the amount of $3500 per unit, which is the fair market value for a police
vehicle based on year, milleage and maintenance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City of Tustin will be paid $7000 by Hancock Community College for the sale of the
two surplus / used patrol units. All transfer and title fees will be paid by Hancock
College.
BACKGROUND:
Allen Hancock College is located in Santa Maria California. The Public Safety
Department is desperately seeking replacement patrol vehicles. Currently, they have
three police units; however one unexpectedly had engine failure and is beyond repair
while another has a usage of approximately one more year. Due to budget restrains
and the cost of new police units, Hancock Community College does not have the funds
to purchase two new patrol vehicles. If Hancock College is able to purchase the surplus
police units they will be able to continue their patrol service for approximately four
additional years. During that time, they hope to secure the funds needed to buy
replacement vehicles.
Sale of Surplus Equipment

The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians has volunteered to donate the funds needed
to Hancock College for the purchase of the surplus units.
The units scheduled for replacement are described as:
. 1999 Ford Crown Victoria, License # 1011699. Current mileage is 50,500.
. 2001 Ford Crown Victoria, License # 1100504. Current mileage is 61,150.
Both surplus vehicles have already been kept in service beyond the normal replacement
time. The 1999 vehicle and the 2001 vehicle should have been replaced in 2002 and
2004 respectively and have been completely depreciated as an asset to the City of
Tustin.
In the past, the City of Tustin has donated or sold surplus equipment and police vehicles
to law enforcement agencies, including Golden West College, the Santa Ana School
District and the Mexi-cali Police. Typically, the emergency equipment is dismantled and
removed from the surplus police units. The Units are then sent to auction and their
eventual sale and price are not assured. This authorization would allow us to quickly
dispose of surplus equipment and assist the Public Safety Department of Hancock
Community College and save the cost of labor to remove equipment and sell the
equipment on an individual basis.
