Miscellaneous rules for property disposal

A. Agencies, and their officers and employees, shall not knowingly dispose of property in a manner that confers a special benefit upon any officer or employee of the county. B. The director may establish, require, and enforce necessary internal control procedures to ensure compliance with this chapter, including a requirement that certified statements be submitted to the director immediately after the disposal of personal property with the scope of this chapter. C. The director may require an agency submitting an application for authority to dispose of personal property, to estimate its fair market value and cost of sale. If an estimate of fair market value is required, and the director or the agency having control of the personal property finds that it is not advantageous to the county to obtain an independent or expert appraisal, then the agency shall make an estimate based on an investigation that is reasonable under the circumstances. The factors considered in making the estimate shall be disclosed in writing, along with the estimate. An officer or employee shall not be held liable for providing an estimate of fair market value in good faith. (Ord. No. 3734, § 1, 2010)
