When the mayor conducts a public auction on behalf of the municipality, he is assisted by two members of the municipal council designated in advance by the council or, in the absence of such designation, called in the order of the roll.
The municipal collector is called to all auctions.
Any difficulties that may arise over the preparatory operations of the auction are resolved, sitting in camera, by the mayor and the two assistants, by a majority of votes, barring legal appeal.
