RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

 

Authorize the Auditor-Controller to delete capital asset items shown on Attachment A from OC Community Resources, Probation, Health Care Agency and Registrar of Voters capital asset inventories.

 

 

 

 

SUMMARY:

 

Authorizing the Auditor-Controller to delete damaged, destroyed, dismantled, missing, obsolete, stolen and surplused equipment from the departmental capital asset inventories will provide departments with more reliable and accurate capital asset records.

 

 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

Board Resolution 93-1390 delegated capital asset 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, or surplused 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 of Supervisors (Board) for review and approval.

 

This Agenda Staff Report includes a request for deletion of capital assets from the inventory records for the following four departments: (1) OC Community Resources, (2) Probation, (3) Health Care Agency and (4) Registrar of Voters.

 

Attachment A lists assets reported by departments as being damaged, destroyed, dismantled, missing, obsolete, stolen and surplused. Copies of each department's request 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 and stolen is included as Attachment C.
