Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of
a Pick-up Truck and Declaring CRA's
Existing Truck Surplus for Donation.
Enclosures: Supporting Documentation; Legislation
BACKGROUND:
It is recommended that the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West 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,
contingent upon the approval of a similar resolution by the Board of Commissioners of the Omni Redevelopment
District 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 other 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 would 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 organizations 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.
