INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Board Chair Marc D. Sarnoff Date: March 1, 2010 File: 10-00303
and Members of the CRA Board
Subject: Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of
a Pick-up Truck and Declaring the
CRA's Existing Truck Surplus for
Donation.

Executive Director
Enclosures: Supporting Documentation; Legislation
BACKGROUND:
It is recommended that the Board of Commissioners of the Omni Redevelopment District Community
Redevelopment Agency ("'CRA") approve and adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the CRA to piggyback
on the State of Florida's Contract No. 071-000-10-1 for the purchase of a new truck, in an amount not to exceed
$22,000, contingent upon the approval of a similar resolution by the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast
Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency. The Resolution further declares the CRA's existing
2000 Chevy truck surplus, and authorizes its donation to a non-profit corporation or community based
organization within the Redevelopment Areas.
The CRA's existing Chevy truck is ten years old, has 130,000 miles, and is experiencing mechanical problems.
The State of Florida has contracted (State of Florida Contract No. 071-000-10-1) with various car dealers for
vehicles at discounted prices and the CRA will piggyback on this contract. The truck will allow the CRA to carry
out its field work in the Redevelopment Areas. The CRA intends to donate the 2000 Chevy truck to a non-profit
or community based organization within the Redevelopment Areas.
JUSTIFICATION:
The CRA's truck has become unreliable in carrying out day-to-day operations. The purchase of a new truck will
allow the CRA to complete essential field work tasks safely and efficiently.
FUNDING: $22,000 from General Operating Fund, "Machinery And Equipment," Account Code No.
