The monies in this ordinance come from the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation ($1,300). 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Foundation found that three of our public workstations were outdated.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 Foundation. 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 from 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. The 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."
