The Mayor is authorized to determine the obsolescence of the various digital and electronic devices owned and used by the City, and to declare such obsolete digital and electronic devices no longer needed for any municipal purpose. Upon such a declaration, the Mayor is authorized to a) trade in such devices for fair market value simultaneously with the purchase of new equipment, b) sell such devices after an informal canvass of available buyers, to the buyer offering the best terms, or c) sell the devices in an online auction established pursuant to Section 721.15(D) of the Ohio Revised Code. To the extent the Mayor determines such devices have no value, the Mayor may dispose of or recycle such devices without first offering them for sale. Each trade-in, sale, disposal or recycling of devices shall be conducted in a manner ensuring the non-disclosure of confidential or personally-identifiable information. Each declaration made under the authority of this section will be filed with the Clerk of Council not later than twenty-one (21) days prior to such sale, disposal or recycling. For the purposes of this section, “digital and electronic devices” includes wired telephones, cellular telephones, cameras, mobile data terminals, radios, other handheld wireless communications or navigation devices, modems, personal computers, digital storage media and other computer peripheral devices, monitors, printers, copiers and fax machines. This section does not authorize the trade-in, sale, disposal or recycling of any device with an estimated value in excess of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). (Ord. 2017-19. Passed 2-13-17.)
