[Adopted as Art. 31 of the Town Bylaws]
A.
Any board
or department of the Town may sell, trade in, give away or otherwise
dispose of any personal property of the Town that is within its possession
or control and which has become obsolete or is not required for its
further use, if it determines that no other Town board or department
could make use of the property. If another board or department could
make use of the property, it shall be transferred, without cost, to
that department.
B.
Before property
valued at $5,000 or more is transferred, sold, traded in, given away
or otherwise disposed of, the transaction shall be approved by the
School Committee, in the case of schools and departments under its
control, or the Select Board, in the case of all other boards and
departments. A public notice of the availability shall be posted at
least 14 days prior to the disposition of all property valued at $5,000
or more, except that which is transferred to another Town department.
