§ 14-33. Sale or exchange of surplus property; bids.

The council may sell or exchange any property, including the improvements contained thereon, which is surplus to the needs of the county only after:

(1)

The council has found by resolution that the property to be sold or exchanged is surplus to the short-term or long-term needs of the county;

(2)

Notice of the proposed sale or exchange is published once each week for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper having general circulation in the county, and such notice may be in summary form; and

(3)

Bids have been received, with the highest bid being accepted unless the terms of the bid do not meet the terms and conditions set by the council, in which event the highest bid that does meet the terms and conditions may be accepted; provided, however, that the council may reject all bids.
