REPORT TO SHASTA COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

BOARD MEETING DATE:  October  16, 2018
CATEGORY:  Consent - General Government-7.

SUBJECT:

Disposal of Antique Furniture.

Supervisorial District No. :  All

DEPARTMENT CONTACT:  Angela Davis, Director of Support Services, (530) 225-5515

STAFF REPORT APPROVED BY:  Angela Davis, Director of Support Services

RECOMMENDATION

Approve and authorize the Support Services, Purchasing Unit, to dispose of 14 antique chairs and one antique shelf base.

SUMMARY

N/A

DISCUSSION

The Department of Support Services reviews its inventory of antique capital assets on an annual basis. There are several antique chairs that have been stored on an ongoing basis but cannot be used or displayed, because to do so would present safety concerns. Some are loose fitted, others are broken. In addition, inventory includes a shelf base which is broken and does not have any accompanying shelves. Continued storage of these items presents not only potential safety concerns if they were to be used, but also takes up valuable office space.

In addition to the items described above, one antique chair resides at the Eaton Museum, on display. This antique is accounted for annually on the department’s inventory; however, The Eaton Gift, Inc. has expressed interest in purchasing this chair so that it can be permanently put on display in the Eaton Museum. Should the disposal of the chair be authorized, the Support Services, Purchasing Unit, would dispose of the chair via direct sale to The Eaton Gift, Inc.

Below is a list of the items proposed for disposal:

ALTERNATIVES

The Board may choose not to approve this recommendation. This is not recommended as the chairs will remain unused, unsafe, and will take up valuable space in the office.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

This recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office.

FINANCING

There is a General Fund Impact from this action.
