Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action on authorizing Purchasing Agent to dispose and transfer certain County inventory between subdivisions, departments, officers or employees of the County.

The Commissioners Court previously approved the delegation of authority to the Purchasing Agent on 12.5.17, Item #59 to submit disposition of certain surplus items on a monthly report.  This item is to update the listing of items that will be included on the monthly report to Commissioners Court rather than weekly agenda submissions.  If approved, the items moving to the monthly report are computers, technology-related items and furniture. 

In order to reduce the amount or number of future purchases, Texas Local Government Code subsection 262.011.(j) requires the County Purchasing Agent, with the approval of Commissioners Court, to transfer county supplies, materials and equipment from a subdivision, department, officer or employee of the county that are not needed or used by another subdivision, department, officer or employee requiring the supplies or materials or use of the equipment. The County Purchasing Agent shall furnish to the County Auditor a list of the transferred supplies, materials and equipment. Please see attached document for more detailed information.
