IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES: This declaration of surplus property and accepting a replacement will have no significant impact on the Police Department budget and there is no impact on personnel resources. BACKGROUND: The equipment listed as surplus in Exhibit A has been determined to no longer be needed in the police department and is scheduled to be replaced with a grant funded, better equipped model from the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff s Department. The surplus trailer was originally obtained by the police department through a State of California /Office of Traffic Safety DUI Enforcement grant. ANALYSIS OF ISSUES: The surplus trailer cannot be sold and will be repurposed for the San Luis Obispo Police Department. The California Office of Traffic Safety Regional Coordinator has approved the transfer of the trailer asset to the San Luis Obispo Police Department to be used in their enforcement programs.
