Explanation
§ North Carolina General Statute 160A-280 allows for the donations of personal property to other governmental units, allows city property, including supplies, materials, and equipment deemed to be surplus, obsolete, or unused to be donated to entities that carry out a public purpose.
§ This approval will allow Charlotte Water to donate an organic sample preparation and cleanup system to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC), which has been made obsolete by regulatory changes and is no longer useful to the city.
§ UNCC would accept the donated equipment “as is,” without warranty and would utilize the equipment for research and education.
§ At the time of donation, UNCC would take sole responsibility for maintaining and operating the equipment.
§ The estimated depreciated value of the donated equipment is $25,000.
