Bradbury Municipal Code Art. III Sale and Disposal of Unneeded Equipment and Property of the City

Except as otherwise provided by State law or City ordinance, the Purchasing Officer shall be empowered to dispose of personal property of the City which cannot be used by the City, at public or private sale, or by renting or destroying the same (all with or without notice, competitive bid or necessity of posting bid bonds, at the Purchasing Officer's discretion, and upon such terms as the Purchasing Officer deems best), provided any single item of property involved does not exceed $250.00 in current market value or salvage value.

In the event any single item of property exceeds $250.00 current market value, the City Council may empower the Purchasing Officer to dispose of it (in accordance with the same terms and conditions, and subject to the same discretion and limitations as if it were under $250.00 in value).
