Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: As a result of the Convention Center Complex Renovation and Expansion Project, the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center and Performing Arts District has surplus items that will not be used upon the reopening of the facilities. Staff contacted several local non-profits to gauge interest in these items and one local non-profit expressed interest.
Staff recommends the following donation:
• 477 quantity (qty.) Cushioned Folding Chairs and 8 qty. Corresponding Racks to CLARA (E. Claire Raley Studios for the Performing Arts)
Policy Considerations: City Code Section 3.80.030(F) provides that surplus personal property may be donated to any other public agency or charitable organization exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code by Resolution of the City Council. In this instance, the recipient, E. Claire Raley Studios for the Performing Arts meets this criterion, making them eligible to receive donated surplus items.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), continuing administrative activities, such as what is recommended in this report, do not constitute a “project”. [CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2).]
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: The aforementioned surplus items are no longer serviceable for events at the SAFE Credit Union Convention and Performing Arts District and by donating them to the identified non-profit, the City not only avoids disposal costs associated with said items, it allows for the reuse of the items in a manner consistent with City Code Section 3.80.030(F).
Financial Considerations: There will be no associated costs to the City upon approval of this Resolution.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
