Dear Mr. Gallagher:
We received your request for an opinion regarding the disposal of surplus movable property that is owned by a municipality. You specifically inquire as to the ways in which municipalities can dispose of obsolete computers and office equipment, which essentially have no market value.
There are a number of ways in which a municipality can dispose of movable property. La. R.S.
La. R.S.
As indicated in your request, these computers did not sell, despite minimal pricing, when offered for sale pursuant to La. R.S.
Therefore, it is our opinion that municipalities must follow one of the procedures outlined above for the disposal of surplus movable property. If the property does not sell, even at minimal pricing, the municipality may discard the property. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
With kindest regards,
Very truly yours,
RICHARD P. IEYOUB ATTORNEY GENERAL
