Transylvania County to Donate Food Warmer to RHS
The Transylvania County Board of Commissioners intends to donate a food warmer to Rosman High School. The Sheriff’s office is no longer using the food warmer, and the county manager has declared it as surplus. N.C.G.S. 160A-280 allows a county to donate surplus personal property to another governmental unit or nonprofit organization. Prior to the donation, the County must post public notice of its intent to donate the property. The donation will be approved through the adoption of a resolution during the commissioners’ regular meeting on January 10, 2022. Thanks!
