RESOLUTION NO. 2004-16
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO DONATE OUTDATED
WIRELESS TELEPHONES AND ACCESSORIES TO PROJECT P.E.A.C.E.
WHEREAS, the City of Brooklyn Center upgrades wireless equipment or changes
providers as determined; and
WHEREAS, the City of Brooklyn Center has outdated wireless telephones and
accessories determined not to be of value in conducting City business; and
WHEREAS, occasionally wireless equipment is in need of repair and warranties have
expired, making it more cost effective to purchase new equipment than to repair; and
WHEREAS, Project P.E.A.C.E., a domestic assault intervention project servicing the
communities of Brooklyn Center, Crystal, Maple Grove, and Robbinsdale, collects working or non-
working cellular telephones; and
WHEREAS, Project P.E.A.C.E. will either keep working cellular telephones to enable
their clients to dial 911 when assistance is needed or will use them as a fundraiser for their program.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center that the City discard outdated cellular telephones and accessories by donating them
to Project P.E.A.C.E., where such donation is deemed to have no to little value for sale or trade-in by
the City. Any unaccepted wireless telephones and accessories donations will be disposed of
appropriately by following Hennepin County Waste Reduction and Recycling Guidelines.
