MEMORANDUM
April 15, 1983
TO: City Council
FROM: City Attorney
RE: Amendment to Surplus Property Ordinance
Attached to this memorandum is a proposed ordinance making an
amendment to Section 2.60.010 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code.
This Chapter of the Code deals with the method by which the City
handles its surplus property. The section of the Code, as
presently drafted, does not include the reference to RCW
39.33.020 which it is proposed to insert into the ordinance.
There is no substantive effect to the change, other than this
mention of RCW 39.33.020. This statute requires a public hearing
before the Council may declare surplus any real or personal
property of the City with a value in excess of $5,000. After the
public hearing required by this statute, the Council may then
declare the property surplus within its discretion, and may sell
the property in any way it sees fit. In the City's case, of
course, the procedure of selling the property would be in
accordance with the surplus property chapter of the Code.
The reason for including this statute into the City's ordinance
is to avoid any possibility of overlooking the necessity of
compliance with RCW 39.33.020 before selling any City property.
The ordinance does not, therefore, make any change in the present
procedure which the City would use to sell surplus property, but
makes certain that applicable procedures will be complied with.
