| Chapter 274, Florida Statutes, contains laws
designed to regulate the acquisition,
supervision, accountability, control, transfer, and disposal of all
tangible personal
property owned by the governing board, commission, or authority of
a county or a
taxing district of the state or the sheriff of the county. Section
274.02 specifies
that each item of property be marked for identification in the manner
required by
the Auditor General and that each governmental unit maintain an adequate
record
of its property containing such information as shall be required by
the Auditor
General.
In order to comply with state regulations, the School Board of
Martin County,
Florida has a centralized Property and Inventory Control function
within the
Purchasing Department. Over the years, the Property Management Specialist
has
established a number of procedures that are designed to provide
more accurate
accountability and improved control to meet the internal needs of
the Martin
County School System.
This manual has been prepared to provide all personnel charged
with the care and
custody of property owned or under the jurisdiction of the School
Board with a
handy reference to the administrative requirements necessary to
fulfill that
responsibility. Any changes to School Board policy or state statutes,
which would
require revision of this manual, will be promptly communicated to
all property
custodians.
Please contact the Property Management Specialist, Sandy Armstrong,
at
219-1255 ext 205, with any property related issues or training requests.
