Shakopee City Council
AugustĀ 15, 2023


FROM:Courtney LaBruyere, Evidence Technician
TO:Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
Authorize the disposal of surplus property (bicycles).
Policy/Action Requested:
The Shakopee Police Department is seeking City Council approval to declare the listed property as surplus and authorize its disposal. 
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that City Council declare listed property as surplus and authorize its disposal. 
Discussion:
The Shakopee Police Department is requesting that the attached property list be declared as surplus. The property has been in possession of the police department for an extended period of time and the ownership cannot be determined. In addition to cross-checking cases of bicycle theft in the city, a list of found property was posted for the public to have access to view on the City of Shakopee website. Customarily, unclaimed property is sold through a public auction, and bikes are donated and auctioned off at the city's Wheelies event. Property that the police department deems inappropriate for public auction will be destroyed. 
Budget Impact:
There is no impact on the department budget.
