...Title
Vote on a request to adopt the Resolution - Declaring Property Surplus and Authoring the Sale of Said Property.
Abstract
Action Requested: Approve the request to adopt the Resolution Declaring Property Surplus Authorizing the Sale of Said Property
Introduction & Background:
The County must comply with statutory procedures when disposing of personal property. G.S. 160A-270 (public auction) requires the board to adopt a resolution authorizing an appropriate county official to dispose of the property at public auction. The resolution shall identify the property to be sold and set out the date, time, place and terms of the sale.
Discussion & Analysis:
The last County auction was in June 2014. Due to construction and lack of a County auction location, there was no auction in 2015. The Chatham County Schools have agreed to allow the County to hold a Public Auction at the old School Bus Garage location on Martin Luther King Rd in Pittsboro.
Two local auctioneers were invited to submit proposals for this service. Harris Auction isn’t available until after January 2017. United Country is available for Saturday, November 5, 2016. The Town of Siler City has expressed an interest of participating in this opportunity. In addition, the opportunity will be extended to the Town of Pittsboro, the Chatham County Schools and Chatham Transit.
The County has several vehicles that have been removed from service and miscellaneous surplus items. All additional items will be presented to County Manager Renee Paschal to add to the public auction.
Budgetary Impact: None
Recommendation:
Motion to adopt the Resolution Declaring Property Surplus Authorizing the Sale of Said Property
