(d) Notwithstanding Subsection (c), the authority may sell for cash authority property of any kind, or an interest in authority property, if:

(1) the board, by the affirmative vote of six members of the board, determines that the property or interest is not necessary or convenient to the business of the authority and approves the terms of the sale; and

(2) the aggregate value of the properties or interests sold in any year does not exceed $50,000.
