Attachment #1: Resolution |
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this resolution is to declare the following SABLE helicopter equipment as surplus property so it can be donated to the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office (“BCSO”): Churchill Mapping System, Forward Looking Infrared imaging system, SX-16 Search Light and associated connectors, Garmin 650, Dynon D6 Aircraft Flight Information System, Dynon D10 Aircraft Flight Information System, and 2- Macro Blue Monitors.
BACKGROUND:
The BCSO requested the City’s assistance to have unused helicopter equipment from the SABLE program donated to them for use with their helicopter. The WPD has transitioned from helicopters to a drone program, and the requested equipment is no longer of use to the department. The donation of surplus equipment is permitted under N.C.G.S. §160A-280(a).
BUDGET IMPACT:
The estimated fair market value of this equipment is $191,330. Donating these items will prevent them from being recognized as revenue for the City.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
Passage of the resolution as presented is recommended.
