Bulk Item: Yes X No
Division County Attorney's Office
Staff Contact Person: Suzanne Hutton
AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval of disposal of American Law Reports reference books in County Attorney's Office, by sale
on E-Bay (through personal account unless County has an E-Bay account) with proceeds less costs of
disposal, fully documented, to be remitted to County, or such other method as is anticipated to obtain
the best price.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The County Attorney's Office has a series of reference books titled American Law Reports (ALR, for
short). Since the office uses Westlaw for research, the books are no longer necessary. FS 274.065
provides: "Property, the value of which the governmental unit estimates to be under $5,000, may be
disposed of in the most efficient and cost-effective means as determined by the governmental unit. " E-
Bay had a set of such books listed at $1,500. It is anticipated that E-Bay will be checked again before
listing to determine the beginning price to be posted.
