Explanation
The City Attorney's Office has accumulated surplus computer equipment for which it no longer has a use. Although this equipment, which consists of 25 computers and 35 monitors, has been offered to all City departments, it has been determined that this equipment is not functionally useful for any City purpose and is of de minimis value. As a result, the City Attorney is seeking permission to donate this equipment to St. Stephen's Community House, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization located at 1500 East 17th Avenue in the City of Columbus. Because this equipment is of de minimis value on the open market, the City Attorney's Office is requesting tha tthe provisions of Chapter 329 pertaining to the sale of City-owned personal property be waived.
Fiscal Impact: None.
