SUBJECT GRANT FROM THE TEXAS TELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
BOARD FOR THE PURCHASE OF NEW COMPUTERS FOR THE LIBRARY
STATIONS IN THE CAVILS AND BUTLER PLACE HOUSING COMMUNITIES
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Authorize the City Manager to accept and execute a grant contract with the Texas
Telecommunications Infrastructure Fund Board (TIER) in the amount of $48,476 for public access
computers at the Cavite Housing Community and the Butler Place Housing Community library stations;
and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations by
$48,476 in the Grants Fund upon receipt of the funds; and
3 Approve the expenditure of $48,476 from the Grants Fund to purchase goods and services in
support of the TIFB computers.
DISCUSSION
The Fort Worth Public Library has been certified to receive a grant from the TIFB The grant targets
branch libraries which did not benefit from previous TIFB grants.
The 1999 TIFB grant did not include the library stations in the Cavite Housing Community and the
Butler Place Housing Community because they received computers from the Gates Library Foundation
the previous year The TIFB grant will allow the Library to replace those computers.
The grant provides 10 personal computers, a network printer, software, and database subscriptions for
each facility The new workstations will allow the Library to target Cavite and Butler Place residents
who are preparing to enter the workforce with links to websites with job and life skills, and the special
needs of elderly and disabled residents. Anew service for both children and adults will be the
availability of a commercial database offering interactive test preparation
In addition, the Library's technology trainer will offer classes at both locations in basic computer skills,
introduction to the Internet, how to use bookmarked sites and locate additional information
The proposed expenditure is exempt from competitive bidding/proposal requirements under Section
252.02(a)(8) of the Texas Local Government Code because these computers constitute library
materials for a public library
