New surplus policy and procedures take effect A new surplus property policy (9-08) and procedures (9-08 B), approved by shared governance, President Moeller and the Board of Trustees, went into effect June 1. Some of the highlights of the new policy and procedures include greater accountability, increased flexibility in disposal methods, and simpler, easier-to-understand language. The new policy and procedures cover the disposal of items purchased with funds held by the college, including grants, contracts and federal funds, and donations. They also address the disposal of textbooks, library materials, hazardous materials, artifacts, and equipment. The new procedures allow the college to partner with the Ohio Department of Administrative Services Surplus Program to dispose of property, thereby reducing the need for on-campus storage facilities. The new policy and procedures can be found on the intranet under campus resources, and the new related forms can be found on the intranet under forms/purchasing forms. The administrative ownership of surplus property is with Purchasing with the exception of IT-related items, which are handled by IT-Asset Management. Questions regarding non-IT related items should be addressed to Brad Farmer at ext. 2641. Questions regarding IT-related items should be addressed to Steve Wolfinger at ext. 2492.
