  5    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
                                                                        
  6        SECTION 1.  That Section 31-1417A, Idaho Code, be, and the same is  hereby
  7    amended to read as follows:
                                                                        
  8        31-1417A.  PROCEDURE  FOR  SALE,  CONVEYANCE  AND DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY.
  9    Real or personal property of a fire protection district may be sold, conveyed,
 10    and disposed of by its board of commissioners whenever the board finds and  by
 11    resolution  declares  that the district no longer has use therefor, subject to
 12    the following procedure:
 13        (a)  If in the opinion of the board, any such personal property  does  not
 14    exceed five thousand dollars ($5,00.00) in value, the same may be sold without
 15    independent appraisal, notice, or competitive bids.
 16        (b)  All such real property, and any such personal property exceeding five
 17    thousand  dollars  ($5,00.00) in value, shall be appraised by three (3) disin-
 18    terested residents of the county in which the district is located,  who  shall
 19    be selected by the board. It may then be sold at public or private sale to the
 20    highest  bidder  for  cash  at  not  less  than its appraised value, after due
 21    notice.
 22        (c)  Due notice of sale shall be accomplished if the notice shall describe
 23    the property to be sold (legal  description,  if  real  property),  state  the
 24    appraised  value thereof (by separate items, if so appraised), and specify the
 25    time, place, and conditions of sale.
 26        (d)  Said notice shall be published in a newspaper having general circula-
 27    tion in the district at least twice, the first publication thereof to  be  not
 28    less than ten (10) days preceding the day of sale.
 29        (e)  If  such  property  is  sold on terms, the board may contract for the
 30    sale of the same for a period of years not exceeding ten (10) years,  with  an
 31    annual  rate  of  interest  on all deferred payments not to exceed six percent
 32    (6%) per annum. The title to all property sold on contract shall  be  retained
 33    in the name of the district until full payment has been made by the purchaser.
 34    Any  property  sold  by the board under the provisions of this section, either
 35    for cash or on contract, shall be assessed by the county assessor in the  same
 36    manner  and  upon  the  same basis of valuation as though the purchaser held a
 37    record title to the property so sold. The board shall have authority to cancel
 38    any contract of sale, pursuant to law, if the purchaser shall fail  to  comply
 39    with  any of the terms of such contract, and retain all payments paid thereon.
 40    The board may by agreement with the purchaser modify  or  extend  any  of  the
 41    terms of any contracts of sale, but the total period of years shall not exceed
 42    ten (10) years.
 43        (f)  Upon  final  payment  pursuant to the sale of such real property, the
                                                                        
                                           2
                                                                        
  1    president and secretary, pursuant to resolution of the board, shall duly  exe-
  2    cute  and  deliver  an  appropriate deed to the purchaser, and upon the accom-
  3    plishment of the sale of such personal property, the president and  secretary,
  4    pursuant  to resolution of the board, shall duly execute and deliver an appro-
  5    priate bill of sale to the purchaser.
