26. DONATION OF USED COMPUTERS TO AGUILA SCHOOL DISTRICT Approve the donation of 25 PCs from Maricopa County, through MCESA to Aguila School District. Aguila will be receiving 25 upgraded PCs, which include: Dell 17-inch flat-screen monitors; Dell OptiPlex 760; and accessories (cable, mice, and keyboards). Aguila School District will accept responsibility for the care and maintenance of the donated computers and will have no expectation that they will be replaced at the end of their useful life. On a recent visit to Aguila, it was noticed by a MCESA staff member that students were still utilizing computers that were over 15 years old. Although still in working condition, they were very obsolete. Discussion with the Aguila School District Business Manager revealed that the PCs needed to be replaced, but District funds were unavailable. MCESA was able to secure used PCs that were to be salvaged. The license expenditure is $1,587.14 from fund 669, the Small School fund. (MCESA will provide 1st year licenses for Windows 7 and install the 25 upgraded PCs.) The computers are non-capital equipment and salvage value is approximately $500.00. THIS ITEM REQUIRES UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THE BOARD. (C-37-14-001-D-00)
