                     Synopsis as Enacted

Brief Description:  Allowing a port commission to sell property valued at under ten thousand dollars.

By House Committee on Local Government (originally sponsored by Representatives Moak, Edmondson, H. Myers, Springer and Rayburn).

House Committee on Local Government

Senate Committee on Government Operations

Background:  A port commission may adopt a resolution authorizing the port manager to sell port district property valued at less than $2,500.  The port manager must itemize and list such property and make written certification to the commission that the listed property is no longer needed by the port district.

Property with a value of more than $2,500 may be sold if the port commission adopts a resolution declaring that the property is no longer needed for district purposes and that the property is not part of the port district's comprehensive plan of improvements.

Summary:  The maximum value of port property that a port commission may authorize the port manager to sell without the commission adopting a resolution declaring that the property is no longer needed is increased from $2,500 to $10,000.

The $10,000 figure is to be adjusted annually in accordance with the governmental price index established by the Department of Revenue.
