Explanation
§ North Carolina General Statute Section 160A-280 authorizes the donation of personal property from a city to a non-profit organization upon adoption of a resolution by the City Council.
§ Promise Youth Development, Inc., a nonprofit organization incorporated by the State of North Carolina and recognized by the U.S. Department of Treasury as a 501(c)(3) entity under the Internal Revenue Code, has requested a surplus van to transport under-served youth to programming and community resources.
§ Promise Youth Development, Inc., helps under-served youth in East Charlotte improve their health and well-being through education, resilience-focused mentoring, and anti-violence programs.
§ The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) has identified one van purchased in 2009 financed, in whole or part, with Federal Transit Administration funds, that has reached the end of its useful service life, is valued at less than $5,000, and is no longer needed.
§ Promise Youth Development, Inc., would accept the donated van “as is,” without warranty.
