If the Police Department determines to sell the property at public auction, it shall cause notice of such sale to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City and County of San Francisco. Such publication shall be at least five days prior to the date of such sale and shall briefly identify the property and set forth the date, time, and place of the sale.

(a) Except as provided in Subsection (b), if the Police Department determines that the unclaimed lost personal property is valued at not more than $500, the Department may, instead of selling the property at public auction pursuant to the terms of this Article, turn the property over to the Human Services Agency for use in any program or activity designed to prevent juvenile delinquency.
(b) The Police Department shall turn over unclaimed lost bicycles valued at not more than $500 to the Human Services Agency for use in any program or activity that is designed to prevent juvenile delinquency.
