Any tangible property or furnishings which are owned, retained, or in possession of City <br /> operated departments or facilities. It specifically includes equipment that is no longer <br /> needed by the City departments. <br /> B. Unclaimed, lost, or confiscated property which has been retained by the Police <br /> Department for over 90 days. This shall include, but is not limited to, unclaimed bicycles <br /> and other non-evidentiary items. <br /> C. Equipment or property obtained through administrative or judicial criminal forfeiture <br /> under Minnesota State Statutes 169A.63 or 609.5315 cannot be deemed surplus property <br /> and thus municipalities are prohibited from donation and restricted on the sale of such <br /> property. <br /> He stated that included in the case is a strike-through version of the policy which identifies the <br /> language proposed to be added and deleted. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Johns, to Adopt Resolution <br /> #17-10-279 Amending Policy for Donation of Surplus Equipment to a Non-Profit Organization. <br /> Motion carried.
