Dear Mr. Kelley:
This office recently issued a memo-randum to you regarding City em-
ployees purcha,sing surplus ma.terial from the City, The specific
law in this area is Minnesota Statutes 15.055 which prohibits the
sale of surplus m�.terial to any employee of the City unless it is
specifically authorized by law or ordinance. A revie�a of our pres-
ent codes does not reflect any specific authority that will allow
the sale of surplus material to City employees.
Accordingly, this office has drafted an appropriate amendment to
the Administrative Code wlzich ��JOUld permit such activity. However,
you will note that it allows only one purchase every l2 months by
a particular City employee. This concept was taken from the above
statute and is an attempt to resolve the considerations of allo�Jing
City employees to bid on surplus material for the economic benefit
to the City while limiting them to one such purchase a year and
thus mollify criticism that employees taere tracling on "inside" in-
formation.
This ofzice has ta'�en the initiative of d-rafting the attached
ordinance as the sale of surplus property frequently occurs, and
the problem of employee purchases is then almost al���ays raised.
Without specific authority to se11 surplus property to City employees,
it is a misdemeanor o�fense for a City er�ployee to ���ake such a
sale to another City employee.
We �aould be happy to attend any discussions concerning this amend--
ment to the Administrative Code, and please do not hesitate to
contact us concerning it.
Very truly yours, ,
�� . s� ��� '
