§ 2.16.02. Sale.

All unclaimed personal property coming into the hands of the mayor will be held by him for a period of six weeks or longer. If property remains unclaimed, he shall periodically advertise such property in some newspaper of general circulation in the city once each week for three consecutive weeks setting forth in the notice the time for the sale which shall not be earlier than five (5) days after the last publishing of the notice and no later than ten (10) days thereafter, designating an easily accessible place for the sale thereof, and giving a complete list and description of unclaimed articles to be sold. The mayor shall have the right to refuse any and all bids not satisfactory and will then proceed to advertise these items for sale at a later date. Terms of such sale shall be for cash only. Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit any person who properly identifies any of the property as being their own before the sale from claiming and having property restored to them.
