Resolution No. 2014-11.25.c

Program for Donation of Unneeded Personal Property

Fairfield County Board of Commissioners

Whereas, section 307.12(B) of the Ohio Revised Code provides that Ohio counties may establish programs for the donation to any 501(c)(3) organization located in the State of Ohio, personal property of the county which is not needed for public use, obsolete, or unfit for the use for which it was acquired, and which has an estimated fair market value of $2,500.00 or less; and
Whereas, said section requires that, before donating any property pursuant thereto, the board of county commissioners adopt a resolution expressing its intent to make such property available and including guidelines and procedures; and
Whereas, Fairfield County has personal property that is not needed for public use, and such property is not appropriate to be disposed of by internet auction but would be appropriate for donation to eligible non-profit organizations.
