H. DECLARATION OF UP TO SIX CAMPING TRAILERS AS SURPLUS PROPERTY\nAND AUTHORIZATION FOR SALE AT AUCTION\nThe City of San Gabriel accepted three camping trailers from the Federal\nEmergency Management Agency (FEMA) to house infected staff at the start of\nthe COVID-19 pandemic. Shortly thereafter, the City accepted five additional\ncamping trailers from the City of El Monte, who did not want their FEMA\nallocation of trailers. FEMA provided the titles and keys for all eight trailers, so\nthe City is the legal owner of them. The San Gabriel Police Department has been\nusing two of the trailers, but the other six have not been used since acquisition\nand staff does not foresee any future need for those camping trailers. The sale\nof said camping trailers is expected to generate between $50,000 and $120,000,\nwith the revenue being deposited to the General Fund.\nCalifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as\ndefined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.\nRecommended Action:\nStaff recommends that the City Council declare up to six camping trailers as\nsurplus property and authorize the City Manager to have them auctioned.
