RESOLUTION AMENDING EQUIPMENT DEFINITION FOR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT

RESOLUTION #99-137

WHEREAS, Resolution #94-93 amended certain administrative policies; and

WHEREAS, one of these policies was increasing the minimum dollar value of equipment definition from $300 to $1,000; and

WHEREAS, the costs for upgrading technology have tended to decrease over the past several years, causing replacement computer equipment to fall below this $1,000 minimum amount; and

WHEREAS, in order to allow departments to use funds that have been set aside for computer equipment replacement through depreciation charges, this limit must be decreased.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the minimum dollar value of computer equipment definition is decreased from $1,000 to $500.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this policy take effect retroactively to all computer equipment purchased as of January 1, 1998 to begin depreciation in the 1999 budget year.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the minimum dollar value of equipment definition remains at $1,000 for all other types of equipment.
