Policy/Procedures:

When an item is determined to be unusable, the department where the item is located shall complete an Asset Transfer/Disposal Form and forward it to the Business Office.  The Purchasing Coordinator will evaluate the item's usability and determine if the item may be of benefit to another Health Department department.  If the item is needed in another department, the item will be transferred to that department.  If the item is currently not needed, but may be of use to the Health Department at a later date, the item will be moved to a storage area and held.

If the item is determined to be unusable by any department, either currently or at a future date, the Purchasing Coordinator will recommend surplusing or disposal.  The Business Manager and Deputy Administrator will review all items prior to surplusing or disposal and give final approval.

Exceptions:

Approval by the Board of Health shall be required for the following:

1.      Disposal of automobiles.

2.      If an item's acquisition price was over $10,000 and the item was purchased within the last 10 years.

Items that are determined to be of no use to the Health Department, either currently or at a future date, but may have some resale value, will be placed in a surplus area.  The Business Manager or Deputy Administrator will determine the means that will net the Department the greatest return.  When it is deemed necessary to hold a public sale of surplus items, the Health Department will advertise the sale information for not less than two weeks prior to the due date of bids.  Award will be made to the highest bidder.
