AUTHORIZATION TO DONATE USED MACINTOSH COMPUTER EQUIPMENT TO <br />ANOKA HENNEPIN ISD #11 <br /> By: Jessie Hart, Finance Officer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The City of Ramsey currently has 14 functional Mac computers, 2 Mac laserwriter printers, <br />miscellaneous Mac parts and other peripherals related to the Mae computers that have already <br />been declared surplus property. It had been anticipated that this equipment could be sold through <br />a sealed bid process at the spring events. <br /> <br />Recently, Mayor Garnet has had conversations with Mr. Bill Burke of the Anoka Hennepin ISD <br />#11 regarding the technology centers throughout the district and how any or all of the surplus <br />computer equipment might be used in the district. I met with Mr. Burke on Friday, March 6, <br />1998, to discuss the possibility of donating the used equipment to the school district. After Mr. <br />Burke had an opportunity to review the equipment he indicated that the district would be very <br />interested in all components, including thos..e.that are not currently functional. <br /> <br />The district is also the recipient of a technology grant that requires at least $10,000 matching <br />community funds to fulfill the grant requirements. It has been estimated, using market costs for <br />rehabilitated Mac computer equipment, that the value of the equipment to be donated, <br />[computers, printers, parts, sol, are, and miscellaneous peripherals] is in excess of the matching <br />requirement and should meet the requirements of the grant. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends that of the Mac' related computer equipment, sof~ware and peripherals be <br />donated to the technology department of the Anoka Hennepin ISD #11. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion 't° authorize the donation of the Mac related computer equipment, software and <br />peripherals to the Anoka Hennepin ISD #11 and direct the Finance Officer to ensure that all <br />equipment, parts, peripherals and software are transferred to the district and removed from the <br />City of Ramsey's fixed asset listing. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Finance Officer <br /> <br />CC: 03/I 0/98 <br /> <br /> <br />
