Dear Mr. Hp�r i s
Enclosed please find a copy of the Comptroller's ruling with
regard to the sale of surplus property, or in this case
recyclable materials. I have also included a letter written in
response to an inquiry from the Town of Cortland back in 1979
regarding this exact issue. Both the letter and Opinion No. 86-
78 clearly state that a given municipality does not have to put
out for competitive bid the sale of recyclable materials. See
paragraph two on page 125 which says, "the courts have stated
that municipal officials have a fiduciary duty to secure the best
price obtainable in their judgment or the most beneficial terms
in the public interest. "
As you know there is precedence on Long Island for
negotiating directly with vendors to buy recyclable materials, as
both Islip and North Hempstead have used this practice. If I can
be of any further assistance on this issue don't hesitate to call
me. Please keep me posted as to how the Town Board receives this
advice.
Thanks again for the "grand tour" yesterday. I was
pleasantly surprised to see how successful Southold has been to
date. Keep up the good work!
Finally, I look forward to working with Jim Bunchak in the
area of identifying new market opportunities for the East End. I
am confident that we can help improve the prices paid to the Town
for certain materials.
Sincerely,
Edward C. Campbell

government, shall not be applicable to the county, unless a contrary intent
is expressly stated in this chapter."(Also, we County Law, §1001[3].)
Thus, if a county hay adopted a charter form of government, it may adopt local laws
superseding the provisions of County Law unless the provision of the County Law in
question expressly provides that it may not be superseded (,Long Island Liquid Waste
Association, Inc, v Cass, 115 AD2d 710, 496 NYS2d 527 app damd 67 NY2d 870, 501
NYS2d 664), Although County Law, §201 states that it shall apply notwithstanding
any other general or state statute to the contrary, it does not contain
Mof intent with regard to local laws adopted by a county having an altterennaat ve
form of government (ef: County Law, §$76121 which provides that the mandatory
provisions of Article 7 of the County Law shall apply 'notwithstanding the provisions
of this chapter or of any general, special or local law. , .'I. Accordingly, since County
Law, §201 does not contain such an expression of intent, we conclude that a charter
county is authorized to adopt a local law authorizing it to pay the attorney registra-
tion fee in behalf of members of the law dopartment as part of their total compensa-
tion. We note, however, if the county attorney and/or,his deputies are appointed for
fluted terms and the local law providing for the payment of the registration fee would
have the effect of increasing their compensation during their term of office, the local
law would be subject to permissive referendum (Municipal Home Rule Law, §2412)),

You have inquired about the proper procedures for the sale of surplus town highway

Pursuant to Town Law, §64(2•a), a town board is authorized to "take, purchase,
lease, ,sell and dispose of personal property as the purposes of the town require."
Highway Law, $1.12(5) specifically authorizes the town highway superintendent, with

town.board approval, to sell unneeded, worn out or obsolete machinery, tools, imple-
ments and equipment. Neither Town Law, §64(2-a), Highway Law, §142(5) nor any
other sttctute prescribes a procedure for the sale of unneeded town personal property.
Thus, there is no statutory mandate that such property be sold only after public
advertisement for sealed bids (cf. General Municipal Law, §103 requiring competitive
bidding for town purchases and contracts for ;public work involving expenditures in
excess of$5,000 and $7,000, respectively).
in describing a municipality's responsibility when selling unneeded property in situ-
ations when competitive bidding is not required,by statute, the courts have stated that
municipal officials have a fiduciary duty to secure the best price obtainable in their
judgment or the most beneficial terms in the public interest (Ross v Wilson, 308 NY
605; Orelli v Ambro, 41 NY2d 952,394 NYS2d 636;New City v Flagg, 111 AD2d 814,
490 NYS2d 56, affd 66 NY2d 980, 499 NYS2d 395;11ferritt v Gallagher, 96 AD2d 933,
466 NYS2d 381). The method chosen for the sale by a town is within the sound
discretion of the town board or the highway superintendent, subject to board approval,
as the case may be. However, in order to fulfill the fiduciary duty, the method of sale
adopted should be the one which it is thought will bring the beat price or maximum
financial benefits and may include sale by either auction, private negotiation or com-
petitive bidding (Merritt, supra.).
With regard to the potential conflict of interest of the board member who is a fire
company officer, we note intially that Article 18 of the General Municipal Law con-
tains provisions relative to conflicts of interest of municipal officers and employees.
Under Article 18, municipal officers or employees are deemed to have an interest in
the,contracts of a corporation of which the municipal officer or employee is an officer
(General Municipal Law, §800[3), [cl). 'Therefore, a town board member, who is alsc
an officer of an incorporated volunteer fire company, has a statutory interest in a
contract between the town and the fire company of which he is an officer.
General Municipal Law, §$Ol sets forth certain powers and duties which, if pos-
sessed by a municipal officer or employee, makes an interest in a contract prohibited.
Generally, a town board member's interest in a contract with the municipality woulc
be prohibited since a town board member has the power or duty to (1) negotiate
prepare, authorize or approve the contract or authorize or approve payment thereun•
der, (2) audit bills or claims under the contract, or (3) appoint an officer or employee
who has any such powers or duties (General Municipal Law, §$01[l]). However, Gen.
eral Municipal Law, §802(1)(f) creates an exception to the eonlliet of interest prohibi•
tion for contracts between the municipality and a membership corporation or other
voluntary non-profit corporation or assoeiat.ion. By virtue of this exception, a town
board memb+r would not have a prohibited interest in a contract between the town
and the volunteer fire company which provides fire protection to a fire protection
district in the town, where he is an officer or member of the company (1979 Opna S
Comp No. 79.445, unreported; 33 Opns St Comp 1977, p 75; 1975 Opas St Comp No
75-381, unreported; see Not-For-Profit Corporation Law, §1402). Nevertheless, he ha,
a statutory interest which, pursuant to General Municipal Law, §803(1), must b,
disclosed in writing to the town board and made a part of the official record of th,
board.
We note that the town's code of ethics should be consulted to ascertain whether i
contains any provisions which are wore restrictive than Article 18 and which may b,
pertinent. r.lao, although the coaaflict of interest statutes do not roquire the boars
member to :abstain from voting on the contract, the town board member may wish t(
consider abstaining from voting on issues impacting on the fire protection contract
Recent sour[ cases have required municipal officials to disqualify themselves fron
voting in certain situations which, while not technically constituting violations c
Article 18, suggest self-interest, partiality or economic impropriety (e.g. Zagoreos
Conklin, 107 AD2d 281, 491 NYS2d 358; Conrad v Hinman, 122 Misc 2d 531, 47
NYS2d 521).

TOWN CLERK Deputy(manner of compensating)
TOWN LAW, H 27(1), 30(10); I1iUNICIPAL HOME RULE LAW, $ 10(1)(ii)(d)(3):
A town array adopt a local law providing that Its deputy clerk will be Paid
au hourly Or per diem
ac baeie only to those instancem where the deputy
actually eervea in the stead of the town clerk.
You have inquired about the manner in which the town board may compensate the
deputy town clerk for service Performed during a three weak period while the town
Clark was on vacation. You have informed us that the deputy clerk does not work in
the clerk's office during the year; that the three week period was the first time she has
performed active service; and that the annual budget does not include an appropria-
tion for the office of deputy town clerk.
Section 30(10) of the Town Law, pertaining to the office of deputy town clerk, states
that Ialny such deputy shall serve without compensation froul the town, unless other-
wise provided by the town board." The payment of compensation to town officers and
employees is governed by section 27(1) of the Town Law which provides. in part, as
follows:
"1. The town board shell fix, from time to time, the salaries of all officers
and employees of said town, whether elected or appointed, and determine
when the Same shall be Payable. " * *"
Section 27 further requires that town officers and employees be compensated by an-
nual salary except that laborers, clerical assistants and stenographers may be compen-
sated on an hourly or daily basis(subdivision [11)said police effacers,special policemen
and constables of a towb without an established police department may be paid by the
week, day or hour (6ubdivision [21). A town may, however, adopt a local law to super-
sede Town Law, $27(1) and authorize the compenzation of an appointive town officer
in a manner other than by annual salary(1980 Opps St Comp No. 80.356,p 108; 1979
Opna St Comp No. 79-856, p 192). Thus, Pursuant to Town Law, §27, a town board
which chooses to compensate its deputy town clerk must do so by the payment of an
annual salary unle-m it has adopted a local law providing for a different manner of
compensation (eg., weekly, daUy or hourly).
We note that the fart that the deputy town clerk for your tovm serves only in the
abrience of the town clerk would not prerlude the town board from establishing an
annual salary for the office of deputy clerk (see 1981 Opns St Comp No. 81-371, p
408). Of course, any �ry reed by the board for that office would preallmably reflect
the nature and extent of the duties expected to be performed. Alternatively, as noted
�°ve,

Dear Ray:
At 11 :00 A.M. bid opening time today, there were only two (2) bids
received, both for tin and aluminum cans: Schelin S Gershow. There was
a representative from Gershow present at the opening.
At 11 :10 A.M. a lady representing P.K. Metals appeared, who said
she had been lost within the Town Hall for the past 10 minutes, and she was
very annoyed when she found the bid opening was over. She had a bid
for each category.
refused to accept her bid for tin and aluminum cans. It would have
been illegal to accept it after the opening was concluded. However, since
we had not received bids for plastic, glass, and cardboard, I accepted
those bids and opened them at that time.
I just thought you should be made aware of all this should anyone
have any questions.

P.S. Please advise what action you wish me to take with respect to resolutions
to accept any of the bids. Thank you.
