(Amended by Ord. No. 160,677, Eff. 2/22/86.)
In the event of the discontinuance of ownership by this City of any unit of automobile equipment, it shall be the duty of the Purchasing Agent, prior to the surrender of such automobile equipment, to remove or cause to be removed any registration plates assigned to such unit, and obliterate all identification markings denoting City ownership.
Provided, however, that if the equipment is inoperative and is being transferred to another entity solely for art, museum, or cultural display purposes, the City Council, by motion or by resolution, may direct that identification markings denoting City ownership including replicas of the City seal need not be removed therefrom or obliterated. In such instances the state motor vehicle registration plates shall be removed.
