(A) The Indiana Code provides for the sale or disposition of personal (and/or surplus property). The authority under the Indiana Code is found at I.C. 5-22-22 et seq. The town hereby incorporates I.C. 5-22-22 et seq. as in effect at the time of the adoption of this Ordiance and as it may be in effect in the future. The procedures outlined in this policy are meant to supplement I.C. 5-22-22 et seq. and serve as the basic guidelines for the disposal of the Town of Bargersville's personal property. Personal property may also be referred to as surplus property as in the I.C. 5-22-22 et seq.
(B) This policy applies to all town employees and has been developed to provide guidance for employees on the disposal and/or redistribution of town personal property. The goals of the chapter are as follows:
(1) To ensure that the town receives the greatest possible return for its property;
(2) To ensure that personal property is used, wherever possible, across multiple departments within the town as the usage throughout multiple town departments is the most efficient and economical use of personal property and should always be considered as the first option.
(3) To ensure that the decision to dispose of town personal property and the method of disposal shall not be the responsibility of a single person.
