County Commission Meeting
January 20, 2021
Agenda Item Number: P.2
Agenda Item Summary #7707
BULK ITEM: Yes DEPARTMENT: County Attorney's Office
TIME APPROXIMATE: STAFF CONTACT: Bob Shillinger(305) 292-3470
No
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to dispose of the following surplus law books that are no
longer useful to the County Attorney's Office: 1) Southern Reporter/Florida cases ranging from
volume 1 of Southern Reporter, 2nd series to volume 995 of Southern Reporter, 2nd series. 2)
Florida Jurisprudence 2nd series, which were last updated in 2007. 3) Florida Pleading & Practice
Forms, last updated @ 2003 4) American Jurisprudence 2d (State & Federal), last updated @ 2005
5) Am. Jur. Legal Forms 6) Am. Jur. Pleading & Practice.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The County Attorney's Office has various law books that are outdated
and obsolete since all of the collections are now available online. The office stopped paying for
updates for the hard-bound volumes more than a decade ago.
These books are classified as property value less than $1,000 (non-fixed assets) and after researching
the potential value of these used, outdated books, it has been determined that the books have little to
no resale value. In accordance with Chapter 12-Surplus Items of the Monroe County Purchasing
Policy and Chapter 274, Florida Statutes, it is requested that these items been approved for disposal.
The County Attorney made efforts to donate the listed law books to the Monroe County Library, as
well as the law libraries for the four public law schools (Florida State University, Florida
Agricultural and Mechanical University, Florida International University and University of Florida).
The County library declined the donation and none of the law schools expressed an interest(see
email composite to FL public law schools).
Other efforts to attempt to dispose of the books for value proved to be uneconomical. Two vendors
indicated that the books had no value; a third wanted the County to arrange shipment to a foreign
country. While there is a limited market on ebay or other resell platforms for these books, due to the
staff time required to attempt to resell these books coupled with the shipping costs, this option is not
deemed economical; e.g., see ebay link which shows nominal resale value of used law books -
htt s://www.eba .coy /sch/i1 t1 1? frog =R40& trksid= 2334524.m570,11313& nkw=law+books+
set+southern+reporter& sacat=0&L title esc=O& osacat=0& odkw=law+books+set).
If authorized to dispose of these items, the County Attorney's office will next offer the books to a

nonprofit entity such as the Monroe County Bar Association in order to avoid placing these items
into the waste stream. MCBA members may find that the books have decorative use. Disposal of
the books would free up significant office space.
