The Coordinator of Emergency Service is hereby designated as the person responsible for accepting Federal surplus property with the power and full authority to sign for such surplus property. The City Manager shall provide a written statement to the appropriate Federal officials designating the name of the current Coordinator responsible for complying with the provisions of this chapter. The Coordinator is responsible for the accountability and shall maintain the necessary records for all surplus property obtained for emergency purposes until relieved from accountability by State and Federal authorities.
The Coordinator is further authorized to direct payment of service charges for surplus property to complete all transactions. Misappropriation or unauthorized private use of such public property while still accountable shall subject the Coordinator to prosecution under Federal and State statutes.
