I have always found it to be in the City's best interest to dispose of surplus property, particularly . <br /> where there is likely interest in a piece of property,to turn the disposal over to an auction house. This will do two <br /> things, first staff does not have to take time oversee a bidding situation, and second, the perception of fairness is <br /> much easier to maintain in such a setting than it is if bids are taken internally. Going to an auction house will <br /> require the City give a cut to the auction house. Unless the Council prefers otherwise, this is my preference for <br /> disposing of surplus and I would like to consider it the administrative policy of the City. <br /> C(12€'11 . <br /> buck Whiting, City Ad .nistrator <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br />
