Title 3 REVENUE AND FINANCE
Chapter 3.12 SURPLUS AIRPORT PROPERTY DISPOSITION
3.12.010 Property disposition.
All real, personal and mixed property acquired from the
United States of America shall be maintained intact for the uses and purposes
for which it was purchased. But if the Walterboro-Colleton County airport
commission shall by appropriate resolution determine that any of such real or
personal property or buildings or structures thereon are surplus to the needs
for the purposes of this chapter and there are no restrictions on the use or
disposal if such real or personal property under the deeds of the United States
of America, the commission may, after an appraisal of the value of such property
by two competent disinterested appraisers, sell, dispose, transfer and convey
any such real, personal or mixed property and give a good and valid title
therefor and may sell the land, buildings and structures either at public
auction or by sealed bids or by negotiated private sale for sums not less than
the appraised value, after having given reasonable notice of the availability of
such real, personal or mixed property for purchase. Provided, that whenever
Colleton County resources and development board advises the commission that a
desirable industry wishes to locate a facility upon properties owned by the
commission and that the establishment of the industry will be economically
beneficial to the citizenry of the county, the commission may sell any of its
surplus property for such industry purposes without having it appraised and for
such amount and under such terms as it deems advisable. Provided, further, that
the commission may sell real property for use as a railroad right-of-way without
having the value of such property appraised by two competent disinterested
appraisers and without limiting the minimum sales price to the amount of the
appraised value. Provided further, that the commission may sell any of this
surplus property for school purposes without having it appraised and for such
amounts and under such terms as it deems advisable. Provided further, that
whenever the Colleton County resources and development board advises the
commission that it would be in the best interest for the industrial development
of Colleton County that an industrial building, whether to be completed, be
constructed upon properties owned by the commission and that such construction
will be economically beneficial to the citizens of Colleton County, the
commission may sell any of its surplus property for such industry purposes
without having it appraised and for such amount and under such terms as it deems
advisable. (Ord. 80-O-6, 1980)
