NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the loaning of used computer equipment under the terms herein specified to governments and quasi-governmental organizations within Oakland County that serve a public purpose, provided that the used equipment is truly surplus and would otherwise be disposed of at public auction.
