B. The purchasing manager shall carry out the directions of the finance committee or the full council with the assistance of the department owning the property.

If the city council directs the surplus property’s disposal, the purchasing manager shall then dispose of the property in the manner specified by council and shall ensure that the proper fund is credited with any resulting proceeds. If either the finance committee or the full city council shall not approve disposing of the surplus property, the finance committee or the full city council shall give the purchasing manager directions for further action.
