POL - Disposal of Surplus Property 2005

  • YEAR CREATED: 2005
  • ENTITY TYPE: City/Township
  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: POL - Policies/Procedures
The document is about the procedures for the disposal of surplus property owned by the city. It provides definitions for various types of property, including surplus property, confiscated property, "lost and found" property, and scrap. The document outlines the procedure for surplusing property, which involves completing a "Request to Relinquish Surplus" form and submitting it to the appropriate department. Vehicles are surrendered to the City garage, while other surplus items are picked up by Building Maintenance and delivered to a storage facility. The Purchasing Division circulates a listing of surplus items to all City departments, and if any department is in need of any item, they can request a transfer. If surplus items remain unclaimed by the next City auction, they are sold to the highest bidder. The method of sale for surplus, confiscated, and "lost and found" property is generally through a public auction. The City contracts with a professional auctioneer who conducts the auctions and collects the proceeds. The auctions are advertised in a newspaper and may also be advertised through other means. If attempts to sell surplus or scrap items fail, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget may declare the items as worthless and authorize their discard. The document also mentions the duties of various departments and personnel involved in the auction, including Purchasing, Building Maintenance, Police Department, Vehicle and Equipment Coordinator, Public Works, and the Auctioneer.
