RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the sale of 20 surplus Motorola APX 1000 Two-Way Radios to the City of Glendora, California, at a price of $350 per radio, for a total sale amount of $7,000 and authorizing the future sale of additional surplus radios to the City of Glendora at the same or better price.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In 2015, the City purchased 107 Motorola APX 1000 Two-Way Radios to support various departments, including fire, police, emergency and public works services. The radios have served as a key communication tool among City departments. After 10 years of service, the radios were recently replaced with newer models.
Following the installation of the new equipment, staff contacted nearby agency cities that operate on the same radio system to gauge their interest in purchasing the City’s used APX 1000s. The City of Glendora expressed interest in purchasing 20 of the APX 1000 radios for its police department, which operates on the same frequency. They have offered to purchase the radios at $350 per unit, totaling $7,000. Additionally, the City of Glendora has expressed interest in purchasing additional units in the future, if available and if its funding allows.
Pursuant to Culver City Municipal Code Section 3.07.095.B.4, by resolution or ordinance, the City may dispose of surplus property to another government entity by gift, sale, trade, or barter. A proposed Resolution is included as Attachment 1.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Revenue for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 in the amount of $7,000 will be deposited to Account No. 1014570.386100 (Fire Communications - Miscellaneous Revenue).
