§ 2.60.010. Determination of property to be declared surplus.

Prior to selling or otherwise disposing of any City real property or any personal property valued over $25,000.00, the City Council shall determine whether the property to be sold or otherwise transferred is necessary to the further and efficient operation of the City.

In making such determination, the City Council shall conduct a public hearing, if and when required by law. At least ten days but not more than 25 days prior to such hearing, if required, the City Clerk shall publish a public notice of reasonable size in display advertising form, setting forth the date, time and place of the hearing at least once in a newspaper of general circulation. A news release pertaining to the hearing shall be disseminated among the printed and electronic media. If real property is involved, the public notice and news release shall identify the property using a description which can easily be understood by the public and shall describe the proposed use of the lands involved.

If the Council determines the property to be no longer necessary, it shall so declare by motion. Disposal of the property shall then be in accordance with the terms of the motion.
