Services <br />DATE: September 20, 2002 <br />SUBJECT: Donation of a Surplus Ambulance (1996) to the Indian River County Sheriffs <br />Office to Replace the Command Post Vehicle <br />The Department of Emergency Services has a 1996 Ford E-350 ambulance (Vehicle #711, <br />County Asset #16208) which has been used as a reserve unit within the EMS Division. The <br />Department has recently received a replacement ambulance and Vehicle #711 is <br />scheduled to be declared surplus. <br />The Indian River County Sheriffs Office has submitted a letter requesting the County <br />donate Vehicle #711 to the Sheriffs Office to replace their existing mobile Command Post. <br />The referenced Command Post also serves as the backup E911 Dispatch Center for Indian <br />River Ccunty. <br />Staff submits that the resale or trade value of Vehicle #711 is minimal, and the community <br />would be better served by donating the surplus ambulance to the Sheriffs Office. The <br />Department of Emergency Services and the IRC Sheriffs Office have routinely traded <br />surplus vehicles to meet needs of both organizations. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Board authorize staff to transfer and donate Vehicle #711 to the <br />Indian River County Sheriff's Office. <br />OCTOBER 1, 2002 55 <br />
