Sec. 7. (a) The purchase or lease of material and work on a capital improvement shall be done by the board under statutes governing these activities by counties. However, if the total cost of construction or equipping of a capital improvement or of the alteration, maintenance, or repair of any building is estimated to be fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) or less, the board may procure materials and perform the work by its own employees and with owned or leased equipment without awarding a contract. In addition, in an emergency determined and declared by the board and entered in its records, the board may make emergency alterations, repairs, or replacements and contract for them without advertising for bids.
(b) Title to or interest in any property acquired shall be held in the name of the county, and the board has complete and exclusive authority to sell, lease, or dispose of it and to execute all conveyances, leases, contracts, and other instruments in connection with it. However, real property may not be sold without the approval of the executive of the consolidated city.
As added by Acts 1982, P.L.77, SEC.28.
