There shall be an examiner of seized property who shall be appointed and be subject to supervision by the Chief Court Administrator of the Judicial Department. The examiner of seized property may prescribe forms and procedures to be used in identifying and labeling seized property, shall recommend to the judges any procedures which may be necessary to implement the provisions of this section, sections 53-278c and 54-36a, may inspect records maintained by clerks of court in connection with accounting for seized property, and may inspect offices where seized property is kept to insure the filing of inventories and compliance with other provisions of said sections. The examiner of seized property shall conduct or contract for any public auction required pursuant to the provisions of section 54-36a, section 54-33g and section 53-278c and, at his discretion, such property may be sold by him to the highest bidder in whatever locality of the state he determines affords the most favorable market. The examiner of seized property may decline the highest bid at any such sale and reoffer the property at a later sale if he considers the bid insufficient. He may dispose of any such property by private sale if, in his opinion, the probable cost of public sale will exceed the value of the property. He may also, at his discretion, dispose of such property to a charitable or educational institution or to a governmental agency or institution.
