3.08.020 Procedures.
In enforcing and administering sales procedures the City Manager or his designee
shall:
A. Establish policies, standards and procedures not inconsistent with the provisions
of this chapter with respect to declaring personal property of the city to be
surplus or excess property, and determining the manner of disposition of such
property;
B. Dispose of personal property declared to be excess or surplus in a manner
reasonably calculated to bring the highest price to the city, or in such other
manner as is consistent with the city's best interests. (Res. 71-30 § 2,
1971).
3.08.030 Manner of disposition.
Property may be sold, or property may be traded or exchanged, if such trade
or exchange would benefit the city. Property having little or no value, or the
sale or exchange of which is impractical, or for which no market exists, may
be destroyed, donated or abandoned. (Res. 71-30 § 3, 1971).
3.08.040 Property in excess of five thousand dollars in
value.
Property having a value in excess of five thousand dollars per item shall be
sold at public sale, either upon written, sealed bids or public auction, as
may be determined by the City Manager or his designee, to be advertised by notice
placed in at least one issue of a newspaper of general circulation published
in the city not less than seven days, nor more than fourteen days prior to such
sale. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the placement and giving of such
additional notice as may be determined to be desirable by the City Manager or
his designee. (Ord. O-93-26 § 22, 1993; Res. 71-30 § 4, 1971).
3.08.050 Property of less than five thousand dollars value.

sealed bids, in the discretion of the City Manager or his designee. (Res. 71-30
§ 5, 1971).
3.08.055 Negotiated sales.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, any management or computer
program developed by the city for city use, which also may be of benefit to
another public or private entity, may be sold through negotiated sales, provided
such sales are authorized by the City Council after finding that such sales
are consistent with the city's best interest. (Ord. O-83-100 § 1, 1983).
3.08.060 Repair and reconditioning.
The City Manager or his designee shall have the authority to expend funds to
repair or recondition property declared to be excess or surplus when there is
a reasonable expectation that such expenditures will enhance the value above
the amount of funds so expended. (Res. 71-30 § 6, 1971).
3.08.070 City employees.
No official or employee of the city, or any member of their immediate family,
as defined in city personnel regulations, or anyone on their behalf, shall purchase
or otherwise receive surplus or excess property of the city except by public
sale upon written sealed bids or by sale at public auction. Notice of any such
sale shall be published in the city in a newspaper of general circulation not
less than seven days or more than fourteen days prior to the sale. Property
that is sold by the city to the public on a proprietary basis in connection
with those activities or services generally provided by the city or for the
purpose of promoting the economic well-being of the city, may be purchased by
city officials, employees or members of their families at the fair market value
of such property as offered to the public. (Ord. O-83-100 § 2, 1983; Res.
71-30 § 7, 1971).
3.08.080 Notice of intent.
Before any property declared to be excess or surplus is sold, the purchasing
agent shall cause to be published, in a newspaper of general circulation, published
in the city, not less than seven and no more than fourteen days prior to sale,
a notice of intent to dispose of property. Such notice shall list and describe
the items to be sold and indicate that any interested party may contact the
purchasing agent and shall contain the address and telephone number of the office
of the purchasing agent. (Res. 71-30 § 8, 1971).
3.08.090 Proceeds of sale.
All proceeds of sale of surplus and excess property shall be allotted to the
city's general fund. (Res. 71-30 § 9, 1971).
