Decision details
Decision Maker: Corporate Director (Economy and Place) & Deputy Chief Executive
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
Currently, the previous Mule has been stored
at Northbourne Depot following a replacement being bought due to
the condition and cost of repair of the previous Mule.
Tuckwells have made an offer for this when assessing equipment at
Northbourne Depot. As there is no other use for this and repairs
would not prolong the life of the equipment to gain good value from
it, this would be the best option to recoup costs from this
vehicle.
As such and under the disposal of equipment procedure a concurrence
is requested.
Decision:
To approve the external (Tuckwell’s)
purchase of equipment from the Sport and Leisure Service and for
the income generated to be allocated to the Beach Patrol
Account.
The Portfolio Holder for Leisure & Public Realm and the
Portfolio Holder for Environment have both concurred with this
decision being made.
Alternative options considered:
To not proceed with the external purchase of
equipment. However, as mentioned this would result in the equipment
being obsolete and taking up storage space in designated
areas.
