SUI~JEC'F: Ordinance for Ciry Council packet 2/18/09
The monies in this ordinance come from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation ($3,900) and the
Friends of the Library ($1,300). Since the total amount may be used for both hardware and
software we have allocated the Gates money for hardware and the Friends donation towards
software. The TechAtlas inventory referred to below was done electronically and submitted to the
Gates foundation. The money is to be used only for public access computers and may not be used
for staff only workstations. The Foundation found that three of our public workstations were
outdated. This grant is intended to help those libraries that originally received Gates grants for
computers to upgrade their equipment and software.
Please see the information below that came directly from the Poandatiou. Note that the library
director, Sal Mattero and Chris Cook attended the mandatory workshop in October 2008.
Based on an analysis of the number of people living in poverty in your service area, and the data
returned Prom the TechAtlas inventory you completed in February, the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation has determined that your library is eligible to participate in its Opportunity Online
hardware grant program. This program is designed to help Libraries sustain technology services
and strengthen their capacity to conduct advocacy and secure local funding. "Ihe amount of
funding that your library is eligible for in each phase of the program is listed below. These
amounts are based on the number of existing up-to-date public access computers and the number
of low-income individuals served by your library. The amount of the grant is also based on a
"total cost of ownership" model determined by the foundation which incorporates the cost of
supporting a public access computer in a public library over a period of four years, including set-
up, maintenance, and tech support.
