Latest version.
  • Boards, department heads, and other officers having movable property which is not useful to them shall from time to time and at least annually furnish a list thereof to the Department of Finance. The Department of Finance shall examine such property, and if the same is found to be usable, it shall be returned to the central storehouse or inventoried for subsequent issue upon requisition. If it is found to be unusable for public purposes, the Director of Finance, after fixing a minimum price shall cause the property to be exchanged or sold at public auction to the highest bidder for not less than the minimum price established after advertisement in the official journal twice, and the proceeds shall be placed in the General Fund. By ordinance approved by two-thirds of all its members, the Council may authorize the sale without public bid of movable property not needed for public purposes at a shop or store operated by or under the authority of the City of New Orleans, and the proceeds shall be placed in the General Fund or another fund as specified in the ordinance.
