Background Information:
Departments, constitutional officers, and other elected officials transfer items that have reached the end of their useful life to surplus. Surplus collects and organizes the miscellaneous equipment, which consists of computers, electronics, office equipment, and furniture. Surplus determines if the equipment can be repurposed to other departments, donated, or sold for auction. Items declared surplus are first offered to departments and our preferred list of agency partners in accordance with Resolution 14-8.
