This publication covers the disposal of surplus items of equipment and materials; includes sample resolutions and surplus property nomination form.

Every city will occasionally find itself in possession of certain equipment, machinery, or materials that it no longer needs or wants. In most cases, the surplus property involves materials or equipment that have become obsolete or unused over the years, and the city decides it is time to unload these useless items, sell them to the public, and put the proceeds from the sale to good use. A well-managed municipality will have policies and procedures in place to assure that the sale of surplus property is conducted in an orderly, profitable, and ethically transparent manner. Failure to enact such policies – and to have them firmly in place prior to putting any surplus property up for sale – invites problems that may have unpleasant results for the city and its officers.

This publication concerns itself specifically with the disposal of surplus items of equipment and materials. It does not pertain to the sale of surplus real estate that a municipality may want to sell.
