In all cases where a public auction sale is to be held under the provisions of this
chapter, an inventory of the articles or merchandise to be sold at public auction
must be made and submitted to the Chief of Police not less than three days prior to
the sale. The inventory required must show the items to be offered for sale on the
premises by public auction and will include, but not be limited to, the lot number
or item number, a brief description of the item, its serial number if serialized,
and the number of items in the lot. The auctioneer must make and subscribe an oath,
to be attached to the inventory, that said inventory contains a true and itemized
account of all property to be sold at said auction. Not more than one supplemental
inventory may be filed if so filed not less than three days prior to the sale of the
merchandise therein listed. At the time of delivery of such inventory, the Chief of
Police or his or her representative shall deliver to said auctioneer a receipt for
the inventory. The receipt shall show the date on which the inventory was delivered
to the Police Department and the date of the intended sale. It is unlawful for any
auctioneer or a public auction house to hold a public auction sale unless they have
received said receipt from the Chief of Police or his or her representative. It is
unlawful to sell or offer for sale at any public auction sale any article which is
not listed in the inventory submitted to the Chief of Police prior to the sale.
A copy of all proposed advertisements, pamphlets, leaflets, brochures, catalogs and
other literature announcing the public auction sale which the auctioneer intends to
distribute or otherwise make available to the public shall be forwarded to the Chief
of Police not less than three days prior to the actual date of the auction sale by
the licensed auctioneer.
