CONSENT AGENDA <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET <br />PROCUREMENT DIVISION <br />DATE: March 12, 2025 <br />TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />THROUGH: John A. Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator <br />Kristin Daniels, Budget Director <br />FROM: Jennifer Hyde, Procurement Manager <br />SUBJECT: Authorization to Donate Millings to Mount Zion AME Church <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The Road and Bridge Division maintains a stockpile of asphalt millings from various roadway <br />work being executed throughout the County. During pavement repairs to 43rd Avenue by a <br />Contractor under the County's annual paving and maintenance agreement, equipment was <br />briefly staged in the parking lot of Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church (Mount Zion <br />AME). This resulted in some rutting and damage to the parking lot. Staff and the contractor <br />both offered to repair the parking lot at the time, however the church trustee declined and <br />stated they would prefer to receive millings and make the repairs themselves. <br />Mount Zion AME is requesting the County donate sufficient millings to make the repairs. The <br />Road and Bridge Division has sufficient millings available. Evidence of the Church's 501(c)(3) <br />status is available in the Procurement Division. <br />Florida Statute 274.05 allows the County to offer excess "property to private nonprofit... by sale <br />or donation." Florida Statute 274.06 also authorizes a governmental unit to dispose of property, <br />the value of which is estimated to be under $5,000 "in the most efficient and cost-effective <br />means as determined by the governmental unit." The value of the total millings estimated to be <br />necessary for the repairs to the church parking lot is approximately $1,500. <br />FUNDING: <br />There is no cost to the County associated with this request. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Board authorize the donation of millings to Mount Zion AME Church not <br />to exceed a $1,500 value, in the quantity necessary to repair the existing ruts in the parking lot <br />caused during the pavement repairs to 43rd Avenue. <br />113 <br />
