Presentation, Discussion and Appropriate Action Regarding Approval of Ordinance O-1519 of the Board of Directors of the San Antonio River Authority Declaring Surplus Property

Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

The Board of Directors of the San Antonio River Authority (River Authority) may declare that articles of personal property owned by the River Authority are not necessary to carry on the business of the River Authority because they are obsolete and not serviceable. As such they are not convenient to the business of the River Authority and are surplus. The Board of Directors may authorize and direct the General Manager to dispose of surplus as listed on Exhibit A of the Ordinance. If authorized, the River Authority will proceed with the disposal of assets as outlined in the Capital Assets Policy FN0014. A preview of items will be scheduled at the Martinez II Wastewater Treatment Plant for donation to eligible entities. River Authority will use an online process to facilitate the sale of surplus property not claimed by other public entities within the district.
