How the county sells its personal property

A. The director, from time to time, shall offer for sale personal property by a public auction or call for sealed bids, unless sale by public auction or call for sealed bids shall be waived by a vote of at least six members of the council, in which case the sale of personal property without public auction or without calling for sealed bids shall be authorized. B. In the event personal property is sold by public auction, notice of such public auction shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the county at least once, not less than one week prior to such sale, stating the date, place and time of auction, the personal property offered for sale, and its upset price. C. In the event personal property is sold by a call for sealed bids, publication of a call for bids shall be made at least once, not less than one week prior to the time of the opening of such bids, stating the date, place and time of auction, the personal property offered for sale, and its upset price. All bids shall be sealed and delivered to the director and shall be opened by the director at the time and place stated in the call for bids. The director may reject any or all bids and waive any defects when in the director's opinion such rejection or waiver will be for the best interest of the public. D. If the personal property description and upset price are readily available to the public in an electronic form, the notice for public auction or call for sealed bids may omit the personal property description and upset price information, provided that directions for accessing the information electronically are included.
