A department’s equipment budget may have the depreciated value of missing items withheld.  For Property Control purposes, a 10-year straight line depreciation schedule will be used.  However, the depreciated value will not drop below 50 percent of the adjusted acquisition cost.  Funding will be reinstated upon written notice to the Director of Accounting and Budgeting that all reasonable and appropriate means have been taken by the department to account for or locate the missing equipment.
