§ Periodic auctions of surplus items are regularly conducted at the city’s Asset Recovery and Disposal facility located at 5550 Wilkinson Boulevard in Council District 3.

§ Due to current concerns and restrictions over mass gatherings, the auction will be virtual with a live simulcast and electronic bidding.
§ The auction company will be compensated 8.5 percent of the total gross sale price of rolling stock and miscellaneous items.
§ Proceeds from the auction are distributed to the city’s General and Enterprise Funds (Aviation, Charlotte Water, and Charlotte Area Transit System) and other agencies based on asset ownership.
