MEMORANDUM

 

 

TO:                  Mayor and Town Council

 

FROM:            W. Calvin Horton, Town Manager

 

SUBJECT:       Resolution Authorizing the Disposition of Surplus Property

 

DATE:             October 10, 2001

 

The attached resolution would authorize the sale of Town surplus property.

 

A public auction for the sale of surplus property is planned for Saturday, October 20, 2001, at 10:00 a.m., at the Municipal Operations Facility on Airport Road.  Items will be sold by public auction, sealed bid, negotiation, or transfer to another governmental unit.

 

The Public Works Department, Parks and Recreation Department, Police Department, and the Transportation Department have identified five hundred thirty (530) items of personal property that are no longer needed, are beyond practical repair, or have completed their useful life.  These items include vehicles, office furniture and equipment, computers and accessories, and heavy equipment.

 

North Carolina General Statute 160A-226 through 274 allows the Town to dispose of surplus property by public auction, sealed bid, negotiation or transfer to another governmental unit.  Any item worth less than $30,000 not yet sold by one of these methods, may be sold by private negotiation and sale with an interested firm or individual.

 

RECOMMMENDATION

 

That Council adopt the attached resolution declaring surplus all personal property that is beyond practical repair or no longer useful.
