Personal Property Use


Assets of the governmental unit may not be used in a manner unrelated to the functions and purposes of the governmental unit.


Whenever an item or other asset owned by the political subdivision is entrusted to an officer or employee, to be used at times outside the normal work time for business purposes, such as a cellular phone, or vehicle, a log should be maintained which clearly shows the business use.

The city employees are in violation of state laws if they do not keep records on use of city equipment.

Which department and who were the employees of those 10 cars in violation of Indiana State law?
