The Town Manager is hereby authorized, pursuant to C.G.S. § 7-148(c)(3)(A),
to dispose of all personal or real properties deemed either unsuitable for
town usage or considered surplus. Dispositions may take the form of sale,
auction, exchange, trade-in, donation, scrap or reassignment to other town
agencies, boards or commissions, as determined by the Town Manager.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, when, in the Town Manager's sole
discretion, the item, or, in the case of personal property, group of like
kind items, has a value in excess of seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500.),
the Director of Finance shall solicit sealed bids for the sale thereof, giving
ten (10) days' notice thereof by publication at least once in a newspaper
having circulation in the town. All sealed bids shall be opened publicly.
