The Mayor is authorized to declare non-functional and obsolete water meters, and other valuable metal waste generated by operation of the Service Department including the Division of Water, no longer needed for any municipal purpose. Upon such a declaration, the Mayor is authorized to:
(a) Sell such scrap metal in gross or in lots or by individual piece, after an informal canvass of available buyers, to the buyer offering the best terms; or
(b) Sell the waste metal in an online auction established pursuant to Section 721.15(D) of the Ohio Revised Code.
Each declaration and sale made under the authority of this section will be reported to the Clerk of Council not later than twenty-one (21) days after such sale. Each report will reasonably describe what was sold and amount of money realized in the sale. This section does not authorize the sale of any individual item with an estimated value in excess of two thousand dollars ($2,000.00).
