F-3. TRANSFER VEHICLE TO THE MARICOPA COUNTY WASTE RESOURCES AND RECYCLING Approve the operating transfer of vehicle number 558, a New Holland Tractor with a book value of $35,000 from the Flood Control District (690) Flood Control Fund (991) to Waste Resources and Recycling (670) General Fund (100). As Waste Resources and Recycling continues to expand the current green organics grinding program to include 5 closed landfill, the ability to efficiently spread and windrow materials is needed. The processed material (grindings) need to be both spread then disked into the landfill surface soil. The materials once applied are very effective in minimizing erosion and controlling dust generation. The most efficient way (speed and surface area application) to accomplish would be via a tractor that can pull a spreader and disc. The backhoe (410) is design to excavated materials and not very well designed to pull attachments. Based on Waste Resources and Recycling operations and landfill maintenance activities, a tractor would be more efficient and cost less versus a rental or using the backhoe. Waste Resources and Recycling will sell the surplus backhoe, equipment number 410, and replacing it with the New Holland Tractor, equipment number 558, from Flood Control. This will result in a net zero impact to the County Fleet. (C-69-16-023-V-00)
