The department, or a public or private person or entity designated by the department, may transfer computers and related hardware that are surplus, obsolete or unused to a common or union high school district or education service district. The department, or its designee, may not charge the school district a fee for the transfer.(C)
The department, or a public or private person or entity designated by the department, may recycle or otherwise dispose of property when the department determines the value and condition of the property does not warrant the cost of a sale.(b)
Authorized transfers under this subsection include those made with or without consideration.(2)
In accordance with ORS 279B.055 (Competitive sealed bidding) or 279B.060 (Competitive sealed proposals), the department may sell surplus property.(3)
All proceeds derived from the disposal of property under this section, except proceeds that may not under federal laws or regulations be deposited in the manner provided by this section, shall be deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of the Oregon Department of Administrative Services Operating Fund.(4)
In addition to the other purposes for which the fund may be used, the fund is appropriated continuously for and may be used for paying the administrative costs incurred in the transfer or disposal of property under subsections (1) and (2) of this section, and for paying the amount due to the state agency whose property has been sold. The total amount payable to the agency whose property has been sold shall be the amount derived from the disposal of the property less the amount of the administrative costs incurred in disposing of the property. Such total amount may be deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of the miscellaneous receipts account established under ORS 279A.290 (Miscellaneous receipts accounts) for the agency whose property has been sold.(5)
The cost of services for disposal of property under this section that is not recoverable from the proceeds of a sale of the property shall be charged to the state agency served and paid to the department in the same manner as other claims against the agency are paid. [2003 c.794 §42]
