The finance director shall have authority to dispose of surplus supplies or equipment by auction or by sale, including by sale to town employees or residents, after receiving bids or proposals which, in his judgment, provide the maximum return to the town. Sales to town employees shall only be utilized when, in the opinion of the finance director, all other alternative means of disposal would provide less return to the town. (Ord. 595 § 1 (Exh. A (part)), 2012)
