MEMORANDUM,Inter Off!
TO: Mr. Al Couch, Director of Finance Date March 13, 1957
FROM: Vaughn E. Wilson, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Sale of Replaced and Used Burroughs Bookkeeping,and'posting
Machines
You have requested an opinion stating what procedure must be
followed in connection, with the sale of City property of the character
above mentioned.
There is no present statute or charter or ordinance provision
regulating such sales.
In 1949 the City Commission passed a Resolution authorizing the
City Manager to sell or cause to be sold unusable or obsolete equip-
ment after receiving sealed competitive bids and accepting the best
obtainable price therefor based on such bids. This is the only regula-
tion known to this department governing such sales.
Due to the fact that the memo and information connected therewith
indicates that a sale may be immediately made of one machine at what
is considered a fair price., it may be possible that the Commission
would authorize the sale of the items listed on the memo of February 8,
1957, in the Water and Light Department under a different Resolution,
and assuming that this is desirable, I am attaching to this memo a
Resolution to be submitted to the ity lion n the
Of xs Moab.
