body
Financial Impact:
The flatbed truck being considered for donation has not been used in years and is of little value and therefore has been offered to the City of Red Bluff Fire Department. This truck would likely incur costs for disposal/junk fees if not donated.
Background Information:
This flatbed truck was used for towing, high water rescues and transporting equipment. This vehicle has since been replaced with a more effective and modern vehicle, rendering it surplus property. The donation of the truck to the City of Red Bluff’s Fire Department would provide a vehicle capable of towing their newly acquired skid steer tractor and trailer. This specialized equipment is needed to help with unauthorized homeless camp cleanups, debris removal and disaster response, thus helping the community as a whole. If the truck is not donated, the County would be required to pay disposal fees to dispose of this flatbed truck.
