Overview
Overview
This resolution authorizes staff to sell/auction items listed in the attachment through an online auction. Items range from tools, electronics, and jewelry. The Police Department has surplus inventory that is no longer necessary or useful to the Village, and therefore, the continued storage and ownership of these items are no longer in the Village’s best interest.

Recommendation
Adopt the Ordinance
Background
In accordance with Village policy and State Statute 65 ILCS 5/11-76-4, the Village’s corporate authorities may, by Ordinance, authorize the disposal of property they may designate in order to dispose of surplus property not usable to the Village. The Village, through the Police Department, submits the items listed in the attachment to the Ordinance to be declared as surplus.
Fiscal Impact
For all items, the owner is unknown and has gone unclaimed for 90 days or longer. Propertyroom.com picks up, lists, and manages the inventory in exchange for 50% of the winning bid.
