municipal approval, to dispose of any obsolete, damaged or unused
items of property of the Town, except land, buildings or water rights,
provided that the item of property has, in the opinion of the Board
of Selectmen, a value of less that $10,000 at the time of disposition.

of value, as a trade-in on the purchase price of a budgeted expenditure
of a like or improved item.
Items disposed of under this article are exempt from mandatory
bidding procedures; however. the Selectmen are hereby authorized to
use such bid procedures as it deems appropriate when, in the Board's
opinion, such procedures would best serve the interests of the Town.
