,by permitting the Mayor or his duly authorized representative to sell or ex-
;�change any municipal supplies, materials or equipment without competitive
!!bidding so long as their value does not exceed the sum of $2,000.00, for the
Treason that often times the publication cost of a notice to sell City property
;!would exceed the value of the property to be sold or would render the sale
uneconomical; that the ordinances now in effect impose an undue financial
;burden upon the City whenever small items of personal property of the City are
,'to be sold. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this
xordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after the date of its
passage in order to preserve the public peace, health and safety.
