RESOLUTION NO. /!)(7
A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City
of Kent, Washington, repealing Resolution No. 1030 relating
to procedures for disposal of surplus property.
WHEREAS, on October 15, 1984, the Kent City Council passed its
Resolution No. 1030, which established procedures for disposal of surplus property owned
by the City of Kent; and
WHEREAS, this resolution established a process for the disposition of
surplus property which required (a) an individual city department determination that
property had become surplused to the City's needs; (b) a determination by the appropriate
council committee concurring with the department determination; (c) a determination by the
City Council that the property was in fact surplus to the City's use; and (d) City Council
direction as to the final procedure to be used to surplus the property; and
WHEREAS, the State of Washington has established statutory procedures
for surplusing certain public utility and fire equipment property, but otherwise does not
establish or require that a city implement surplus property procedures; and
WHEREAS, because of the diversity of property that the City needs to
surplus from time to time, and because determining the value of surplus property is
inherently unpredictable, the procedures for surplusing property established in Resolution
No. 1030 have become cumbersome, time consuming, and sometimes counterproductive to
achieving the best market price for the property that is selected for surplus; NOW
THEREFORE,
