Item No. 7F <br />Type of Business: CA <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Jim Hess, Engineering/Information Services <br />Technician <br /> <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 5949 Authorizing the Disposal of <br />Obsolete Computer Equipment <br />Date of Meeting: February 10, 2003 <br /> <br />The City has a quantity of computer equipment that is either broken or is so old that <br />it is obsolete and unusable. All of the equipment was purchased between 1988 <br />and 1995 with the exceptions of one fax machine and one PC purchased in 1998. <br /> <br />The staff recommends disposing of this equipment since it is not operational and is <br />taking up scarce storage space. Included on the list are 13 monitors, 12 personal <br />computers, 13 keyboards, 12 printers, and 3 fax machines. <br /> <br />These items can’t just be thrown away. They contain some toxic substances and <br />state law requires that they be sent to a qualified recycler. There are several <br />available and they all charge about the same. We estimate the cost to be between <br />$100 and $200. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jim Hess
