/ V CONSENT AGENDA Indian River County Inter-Office Memorandum ~� Office of Management and Budget TO: Members of the Board of County Commission s FROM: Jason E. Brown Director, Office of Mana emen & Budget DATE: March 4, 2013 SUBJECT: Request for Authorization to Donate Surplus Equipment To Youth Guidance BACKGROUND AND CONDITIONS For many years, the county provided staffing, facilities and administrative support for Youth Guidance as a County department. Over the last several years, the county had reduced staffing in an effort to meet ever tighter budget constraints and transition this department to a stand- alone agency. At the Board meeting of October 16, 2012, County staff proposed that funding for the position of Youth Guidance Program Manager be reallocated as a grant to an outside agency. The Board of Commissioners approved staff's recommendation to provide funding to the Youth Guidance Department as an outside agency for fiscal year 2012/2013. Currently, the County has two fixed assets being utilized by the Youth Guidance agency. Listed below are the two items: Asset#: 113910 USI 27" Laminator (purchased 1989) Asset#: 24195 Dell Latitude D620 Laptop Computer (purchased 2007) Both of the above items are fully depreciated and have no book value. These two items are being declared excess to the needs of Indian River County and should be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of Section 274.05, Florida Statutes, which authorizes the County to donate surplus equipment to private nonprofit agencies as a means of proper disposal. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners declare the laminator and laptop computer surplus and authorize the donation of said equipment to Youth Guidance in accordance with Section 274.05, Florida Statutes. 39
