The collector may sell to officer of the municipality if there is a ______ and proper ______.

• A. Resolution Budget Funding
• B. Open Bid Process
• C. Administrative Approval
• D. Legal Endorsement

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that selling to an officer of the municipality needs formal authorization and funding approval. A formal council resolution provides the necessary legislative authorization to proceed, and proper budget funding ensures there is allocated money and proper appropriation for the sale. Together, these two elements create a clear, authorized, and funded basis for the transaction, which is why the best choice is the one that combines a resolution with budget funding.

The other options don’t fit because they either describe a process (like an open bid) meant for public or external sales, or they refer to approvals that don’t by themselves guarantee both formal authorization and budgetary backing.
