26 is determined by the Department in its initial survey to be
27 $10 per square foot or more, then the Department shall obtain
28 an appraisal by a State certified real estate appraiser. The
29 appraisal shall represent the fair market rental value of the
30 property.

7 Administrator may sell the surplus real property by public
8 auction following notice of such sale by publication on 3
9 separate days not less than 15 nor more than 30 days prior to
10 the sale in the State newspaper and in a newspaper having
11 general circulation in the county in which the surplus real
12 property is located. The Administrator shall post "For Sale"
13 signs of a conspicuous nature on such surplus real property
14 offered for sale to the public. If no acceptable offers for

17 shall have all power necessary to convey surplus real
18 property under this Section. All moneys received for the
