Hi, all. First, thank you for input you can give me. I represent the tiny town of Sparks, OK, pop. about 250. My town wants to sell a couple of damaged, junker cars it owns. I see that 22-101 gives the town the right to contract, to sell property. And 17-207 requires an accounting of funds it receives. It looks like 17-115 is a process for the town purchasing goods, not selling them. So, absent any ordinance restrictions, are there any restrictions on selling property? Eg. do we have to accept bids, etc. Thank you for your help.

Kim,
I don’t know of any requirements for bidding or other state-law hoops to jump through. Both of my Towns have ordinances that require the Town Board to declare property to be surplus and provide a method for disposal. One has had good luck selling through a website for municipal and county surplus property. They only have to use competitive bidding if the property is worth more than a certain amount (the amounts differ and there are exceptions).
Good Luck!

Hi, all. First, thank you for input you can give me. I represent the tiny town of Sparks, OK, pop. about 250. My town wants to sell a couple of damaged, junker cars it owns. I see that 22-101 gives the town the right to contract, to sell property. And 17-207 requires an accounting of funds it receives. It looks like 17-115 is a process for the town purchasing goods, not selling them. So, absent any ordinance restrictions, are there any restrictions on selling property? Eg. do we have to accept bids, etc. Thank you for your help.

Kim,
I don’t know of any requirements for bidding or other state-law hoops to jump through. Both of my Towns have ordinances that require the Town Board to declare property to be surplus and provide a method for disposal. One has had good luck selling through a website for municipal and county surplus property. They only have to use competitive bidding if the property is worth more than a certain amount (the amounts differ and there are exceptions).
Good Luck!
