AGENDA ITEM 4B <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: John E. Swenson, Chief of Police <br />COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 10, 2011 <br />TOPIC: Unclaimed Property Ordinance <br />Second Reading of Ordinance 20-11, Amending <br />Chapter 213.07 of the Lino Lakes Code of <br />Ordinances regarding Unclaimed Property <br />ii. Consider Resolution No. 11-102, summarizing <br />Ordinance No. 20-11 for publication purposes. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The City sells property/equipment which is no longer needed for City use, is not <br />claimed, or is forfeited through legal proceedings. The current ordinance (213.07 <br />Disposal) only affords the City the ability to sell property through public auction. This <br />current practice does not allow the City to leverage technology to maximize revenues <br />for the City. Furthermore, the requirement of a public auction creates a stockpile of <br />property at the City's public works facility which has generated complaints from <br />neighbors. <br />ANALYSIS <br />If these changes are adopted the City will benefit in the following areas: <br />1. Increased revenue from the sale of the property. Currently we sell city property <br />at an auction with multiple government entities; therefore there is a surplus of like <br />equipment being sold on the same day in a fixed time frame. This creates a saturated <br />market which drives the price paid for items down, which decreases the revenue to the <br />City. Other cities have experienced an increase in revenues by making these types of <br />proposed changes. <br />2. The current auction schedule is two per year. This creates storage/crowding <br />issues at the Public Works facility. If the proposed changes are adopted property can <br />be sold as soon as it becomes available. This would relieve some of the storage <br />problems currently experienced at the Public Works facility. <br />3. The proposed change would also give the City options in the manner in which <br />the public is notified of the sale of public property. Currently, all notification must be <br />published in the newspaper. This requirement creates an expense to the City and limits <br />the scope of the notification. If the proposed changes are adopted, the City would have <br />other notification options available, such as use of the City's website as its avenue to <br />notify the public. <br />
