However, agencies <br /> have declined interest due to the age of the computers as well as the cost to purchase operating <br /> systems since the County must remove all software and information for security purposes prior to <br /> any disposal action. The possibility of making surplus computers and computer peripherals <br /> available to County employees has also been discussed in the past. The interest among County <br /> employees is uncertain, and it has been noted that conveying/selling the computers to employees <br /> requires a prescribed process based on State law. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Donating these computer peripherals to Triangle Ecycling will have no <br /> financial impact on the County. As these computer peripherals have had 10 years of use and have <br /> been deemed unsuitable for repair or further use for their intended purpose, any money recovered <br /> by selling these items as-is would be offset by the Staff time involved in managing the sale. The <br /> computers hold considerably more value as teaching tools for local students. Computer <br /> peripherals repurposed by Triangle Ecycling trainees are given to local charities, sold locally at a <br /> discount to bridge the digital divide, or sold online to support further programming of the nonprofit. <br /> ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports: <br /> • GOAL 5: PUBLIC EDUCATION/LEARNING COMMUNITY <br /> OBJECTIVE 2. Improve school readiness and educational outcomes by providing access, <br /> training, tools, technology, and other resources needed to thrive. <br /> OBJECTIVE 3. Provide support for workforce development through training, tools, <br /> technology, and other resources. <br />
