BY: Finance Committee, Sue Ann Douglas, Chairperson
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET - DISTRIBUTION OF USED COMPUTER
EQUIPMENT TO GOVERNMENTS AND QUASI-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS with the advancement of technology, Oakland County is necessarily
replacing otherwise usable computer equipment with new equipment that is required
to accommodate advanced systems' software; and
WHEREAS the net effect of this phenomenon is an increasing inventory of
used computer equipment that may be disposed of at public auction long before
attaining its useful life or held by the Department of Information Technology for
an unspecified future use; and
WHEREAS the resultant surplus of used computer equipment often matches the
operating needs of other governmental and quasi-governmental organizations
throughout the County that could effectively employ this hardware in the pursuit
of their public purposes; and
WHEREAS the transfer of this surplus used computer equipment frees up
storage space at the Department of Information Technology and manpower
requirements to properly warehouse this equipment.
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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the term of the loan shall be no longer than
five years and bear a rental rate of $1.00 per year to be paid by the benefitting
governments and quasi-governmental organizations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that any equipment loans that take place under this
policy be reported to the Finance Committee as a part of the Quarterly Financial
Forecast.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the
foregoing resolution.
