RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

 

Authorize the Auditor-Controller to delete capital assets shown on Attachment A from Clerk of the Board and Registrar of Voters inventories.

 

 

 

 

SUMMARY:

 

Authorizing the Auditor-Controller to delete damaged, destroyed, dismantled, missing, obsolete, stolen and/or surplus equipment from the department's capital asset inventories will provide departments with more reliable and accurate capital assets records.

 

 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

Board of Supervisors (Board) Resolution 93-1390 delegated capital assets policy and procedure revisions to the Auditor-Controller. County Accounting Procedure, FA-4 "Capital Assets-Equipment," sets forth the procedures for departments to properly account for and control equipment. Departments must conduct periodic inventories of capital assets and report the results to the Auditor-Controller.


 

 

Assets that are damaged, destroyed, dismantled, missing, obsolete, stolen and/or surplus must be reported to the Auditor-Controller with explanations and a request to delete the items from the official inventory records. The Auditor-Controller reviews deletion requests for compliance with established procedures and periodically submits the requests to the Board for review and approval.

 

This Agenda Staff Report includes a request for deletion of capital assets from Clerk of the Board and Registrar of Voters inventory records. These assets include obsolete equipment from Clerk of the Board and surplus equipment from Registrar of Voters.

 

Attachment A lists the assets reported by the departments as being damaged, destroyed, dismantled, missing, obsolete, stolen and/or surplus. Copies of the department's requests to delete the specified assets are included as Attachment B. Finally, per Board directive, a five-year history schedule of capital assets reported as missing, dismantled, destroyed, damaged and/or stolen is included as Attachment C.

 

Prior Board Actions:

On May 20, 2025, the Board approved the deletion request for District Attorney and OC Waste & Recycling capital asset inventories. On January 28, 2025, the Board approved the deletion request for OC Public Works, OC Waste & Recycling, Probation, and Sheriff-Coroner capital assets inventories.
