Explanation
The Criminal Division of the City Attorney's Office has accumulated surplus computer equipment for which it no longer has a use. Although this equipment, which consists of 15 computers and 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 minimus value. As a result, the City Attorney is seeking permission to donate this equipment to the Southside Settlement House, a 501(C)(3) designated charitable organization, located at 310 Innis Avenue in the City of Columbus. Because this equipment is of de minimus value on the open market, the City Attorney's Office is requesting that the provisions of Chapter 329 of the City Code pertaining to sale of city-owned personal property be waived.
Fiscal Impact: None.
Emergency Designation: This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency measure so that the Southside Settlement House will have access to this equipment at the earliest possible date.
