B. When items offered for sale amount to more than one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) in appraised resale value, the Finance Director shall cause notice of sale to be published at least five (5) days before the sale, in the official newspaper, giving a general description of the items to be sold, where bids are to be received, and the time and place of sale. The Firlance Director shall, in addition, solicit sealed quotations from prospective buyers, by telephone or by sending them copies of newspaper notices, or other methods designed to reach the greatest number of prospective buyers. C. When any separate item or items of such surplus stock, material or equipment to be offered for sale amounts to one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or less, the Finance Director may ORIGI~qAL accept informal written bids or quotations for the sale of such item or items, without causing a notice of sale to be published in a newspaper. D. At the time and place of sale of such surplus stock, material or equipment, oral bids may be considered by the Finance Director, after giving proper notice of such fact, provided such oral bids shall be at least ten percent (10%) higher than the highest written bid received at the time of opening of bids. E. The Finance Director may, at his or her discretion, require cash or a cashier's check in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the price bid to be deposited by the bidder at the time of making or submitting his or her bid.

Whenever another governmental entity or a non-profit organization having tax exempt status as determined under Section 501 (c) Internal Revenue Code has requested the opportunity to purchase surplus stock, materials or equipment, the Finance Director may, without complying with other provisions of this section, negotiate with such governmental entity or non-profit organization for the price to be charged for such surplus stock, materials or equipment. Any sale to a governmental entity or non- profit organization shall be subject to confirmation and approval by the City Council which, in its discretion, may authorize or reject such sale. If the sale is rejected, the property will be disposed as surplus stock, materials or equipment as provided by the provisions of this chapter. G. When surplus stock, material or equipment is unique (e.g., refuse truck, fire truck, street sweeper) and does not lend itself to disposal by the aforementioned procedures, the Finance Director may retain the services of an equipment broker to dispose of said surplus items if the use of said broker would, in the opinion of the Finance Director, allow the City to receive the maximum market value for the equipment.
