Important Information Regarding State And Hospital Assets That Fall Below The $5,000 Threshold:

Although it is the individual department's responsibility to monitor and control these assets, Property Control must still be informed as to the "change of user" (transfer) or the surplus of any of these items, so that our records can be completed, in accordance with Albany's requirements.
