§ 2-5. Use of county-owned personal property for private purposes.

(a)

Trucks, automobiles, machinery and other items of personal property owned by the county shall not be loaned or leased to any person; provided, that the board of supervisors may by resolution provide such rules and regulations whereby the county administrator may authorize specified items of county-owned personal property to be used for private purposes when such use would not interfere with or delay any county work or project, upon the payment of specified charges, and subject to such terms and conditions as may be stipulated by the county administrator. If and when any such resolution is in effect, the provisions thereof and the provisions of this subsection shall be deemed to be incorporated in and made a part of any authorization made thereunder by the county administrator; and all persons for whose benefit any county-owned personal property is used shall be bound thereby and shall likewise be bound by the stipulations of the county administrator.

(b)

This section shall not be construed so as to limit the authority of the board of supervisors to authorize the use of county-owned personal property by municipalities or agencies of the commonwealth or other political subdivisions under mutually agreed upon terms and conditions.
