Subject:
Recommendation to Donate an Obsolete Chevrolet Malibu
Automobile to the Santa Monica Police Activities
League For An Auto Repair Class
Introduction
This report concerns the donation of an obsolete Chevrolet Malibu
automobile to the Santa Monica police Activities League (PAL) for
use in an auto repair class offered by volunteer police officers
to PAL youth.
Background
The PAL program was organized two years ago to serve the youth of
Santa Monica by providing recreational, educational and cultural
activities. The programs are offered under Police and Recreation
staff supervision.
Volunteer officers and community members
teach the individual activities.
For the auto repair class,
several police officers have agreed to teach the class and a
local Chevrolet dealer will donate the necessary parts. The
class will
provide a worthwhile learning experience for the
youth who have expressed interest in learning automotive repair
skills.
A Chevrolet Malibu has been identified in the Police Department
fleet which was purchased in 1983 and now requires too much
maintenance to remain in operation.

Budget/Financial Impact
Once donated, the value of the automobile will be deleted from
the City asset list.
Recommendation
Because the automobile is obsolete and there is a benefit to the
youth of the PAL program, staff recommends that the
aforementioned Chevrolet Malibu automobile be donated to PAL.
