PURPOSE:

To approve the donation and transfer of ownership of 2004 Spartan Tractor (asset#7066) and Trailer (asset #7069) to the Newton County Fire Department.

 

NEED/IMPACT:

In 2004, the Board of Commissioners approved acceptance of a grant from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency for the ownership, operation, and maintenance of a Georgia Search and Rescue (GSAR) vehicle and related equipment. The equipment includes DeKalb County asset #7066 (a 2004 Spartan Gladiator) and asset #7069 (a 2004 trailer), which have now been designated as surplus. DeKalb County Fire Rescue requests approval to donate these assets to the Newton County Fire Department, which has expressed interest in assuming ownership.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

Current estimated value does not exceed $5,750.00.
