A. A department or office may sell any item of surplus personal property by incidental sale when it determines that the item:
1. Is scrap or salvage material, including, discarded fire hose, a tire casing, a dead storage battery, or worn-out or wrecked automobile or machine body or part;
2. Is perishable; or
3. Has been offered for public sale and no offer to purchase has been received.
B. For the purpose of this section, the term "incidental sale" means the sale of any item defined in subsection A of this section at a price, and at a time and place to be determined by the head of the department or office in possession of the surplus personal property, to any buyer who is willing to pay the price requested, without first advertising such sale or calling for bids.
C. Nothing in this section limits the ability of the city to sell, as it may deem proper, any item as defined in subsection A by sale at public auction or by sealed proposal as provided in section 3.80.030 of this chapter. (Ord. 2024-0010 § 9)
