<br />Item No. 7C <br />Meeting Date: March 26, 2001 <br />Type of Business: CA <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Mounds View Mayor and City Council <br />From: Aaron Parrish, Economic Development Coordinator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 5544 Donating Surplus Property <br />Date of Report: March 20, 2001 <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />As Council may be aware, there is currently a collection of surplus property building up in the <br />basement. This includes old office furniture, chairs, and some old computer equipment. A <br />more detailed inventory is contained in Exhibit “A” of Resolution 5544. From staff’s <br />perspective, the property contained within the inventory could not be disposed of through the <br />state auction. In fact, some of the property was acquired from the state after it could not be <br />sold at auction. <br /> <br />In addition, you’ll note that there is some computer equipment listed as well. All of the <br />computers have less than 486k processors, and some even still have the large floppy disk <br />drives. In other words, these computers are very slow and/or obsolete to the point that they <br />can no longer be used for even basic functions. Also, some of the items have been deemed <br />unrepairable at a reasonable expense. <br /> <br />Given our inability to dispose of this property through traditional means, staff has discussed <br />the possibility of donating the property to the Mounds View Mobile Park for their newly <br />renovated “Community Center.” The Center, funded with a grant from J.C. Penny, is a <br />renovated laundry facility intended to provide children in the area with educational <br />assistance, recreational opportunities, and an area to meet. Representatives from the <br />Mounds View Mobile Home Park indicated that they could put the property to productive use <br />in their “Community Center”, and have agreed to take the surplus property out of City Hall at <br />their expense. <br /> <br />Necessary Actions: <br /> <br />Consider Resolution 5544 Donating Surplus Property <br /> <br /> ______________________________________ <br />Aaron Parrish, Economic Development Coordinator <br />(763) 717-4029 <br /> <br /> <br />Attachment #1: Resolution No. 5544 <br />
