Voting machine disposal.
(A) Sales agent. The County Manager shall be the sales agent for the county under this section and is hereby authorized, pursuant to G.S. § 160A-266(c), to dispose of certain personal property in the form of voting machines owned by Camden County valued at $25 per machine whenever he or she determines, in his or her discretion, that:
(1) The property is no longer necessary for the conduct of public business;
(2) Sound property management principles and financial considerations indicate that the interests of the county would best be served by disposing of the property.
(B) Procedures for disposing of certain personal property in the form of voting machines. The County Manager may dispose of any such personal property by any means which he or she judges reasonably calculated to yield the highest attainable sale price in money or other consideration, including, but not limited to, the methods of sale provided in G.S. § 160A-265 et seq. Such sale may be public or private, and with or without notice and minimum waiting period.
(C) Sale of voting machines. The personal property shall be sold to the party who tenders the highest offer, or exchanged for any property or services useful to the county if greater value may be obtained for any property or services useful to the county if greater value may be obtained in that manner, and the County Manager is hereby authorized to execute and deliver any applicable title documents. If no offers are received within a reasonable time, the County Manager may retain the property, obtain any reasonably available salvage value, or cause it to be disposed of as waste material. No personal property may be donated to any individual or organization except by resolution of the Board of Commissioners.
(D) Reports to Board. The County Manager shall report in writing to the Board of Commissioners on any voting machines disposed of under these provisions. The written report shall generally describe the property sold or exchanged, to whom it was sold, or with whom exchanged, and the amount of money or other consideration received for each sale or exchange since the last such report was submitted.
