RE: SLC Computers for the Community (formerly known as the Digital Equipment Donation
Program) - WRITTEN BRIEFING
ISSUE AT -A -GLANCE
In September of 2020, a policy for the Digital Equipment Donation Program was adopted.
Working with Youth & Family Services (Y&F), the City's Innovation Team developed a pilot
program to address digital inequity within the community. One of the policy action items calls
for "increasing digital access via reliable and affordable devices". In September of 2021, IMS
and Youth & Family Services began donating surplus computers, keyboards and mice to
families, individuals and non-profit organizations.
The Administration is now recommending that the Digital Equipment Donation Program be
renamed SLC Computers for the Community. Additionally, the Administration recommends
several changes to simplify the process. Prior to distributing the computers, the current
Public Benefits Analysis process requires the City to:
1) Prepare the cost analysis
2) Draft a transmittal
3) Prepare a resolution
The Administration indicates that these steps delay the progress of timely computer
distribution, and therefore suggests transitioning to a quarterly donation cycle which aligns
with State Code. Section 10-8-2 indicates a Public Hearing will still be required for donations
of computers, keyboards and mice; however, a cost -analysis study will no longer be required.
Near the beginning of the fiscal year, IMS would identify the number of devices and
accessories available for donation and request City Council approval.
1. Non -profits serving Salt Lake City residents would be chosen through an open
application process.
2. Allocation of the devices to the selected non -profits would occur based on need and
ability to distribute the devices to qualifying recipients.

3. Results of distribution could be incorporated into a budget amendment, annual budget, or
provided in another manner according to the Council's preference. Note: If these changes
are approved, City programs such as Youth & Family Services will no longer be able to
provide computers directly to their patrons; however, they can refer families to the non-
profits that are awarded the devices. The Youth & Family Services Division is aware of
this change and agrees with the recommended changes. Over fiscal year 2024-25, it is
anticipated that there will be approximately 500 computers available to donate.
The schedule is as follows:
Written Briefing and Set Date July 9th
Public Hearing: August 13th formal meeting
Potential Action: August loth formal meeting.
BUDGET IMPACT
The transmittal indicates there will be very little impact to the City budget because of these
changes. The anticipated benefits using the new approach include reduced device storage
expenses, devices prepared predictably by apprentices, and improved operational efficiency in
IMS.
METRICS
With respect to measuring program success, the Administration will be using questionnaires
to track the distribution of the receivers. The application requests the following information
from the organizations distributing the computers:
a) A brief overview of how the distribution process and digital literacy program was
accomplished
b) Zip codes of computer recipients
c) Age of recipients
Council staff asked what criteria will be used by community organizations (if any) to
distribute the computers. The Administration indicated they are assuming that the
community organizations are working with a variety of individuals from differing
backgrounds who qualify for their services and as such they did not want to be overly specific.
This is an area where they will evaluate moving forward.
POLICY QUESTION
➢ The Council may wish to ask IMS for an update on the expansion and
availability offree Wi-Fi networks throughout the City, specifically
available for families who may not otherwise have internet service.
The information listed below identifies the non -profits which received the donated computers
during FY2023. The Administration will have75 computers available July 1st for donation.

Recommendation: *
A.) The Administration recommends that a public hearing be held on the matter of the Public Benefits Analysis and that the Council consider
adopting a resolution approving the donation of up to 500 surplus computers the City no longer intends to use to local nonprofits for distribution
to community members in need.
B.) IMS proposes a change to improve the SLC Computers for the Community Program, aiming for more consistent and timely service to
community members. The current Public Benefit Analysis process requires multiple Administrative functions such as preparing the cost analysis,
drafting a transmittal, and preparing a resolution. These steps hinder our ability to develop a regular donation schedule. Recognizing the pressing
need for computers and growing interest from new partners, IMS suggests transitioning to quarterly donation cycles to qualified nonprofits. This
shift aligns with Utah Code 10-8-2, enabling donations to nonprofits without conducting a public benefits analysis. While this means City
programs like Youth and Family Services may not directly provide computers, they endorse the change and are willing to refer families to
nonprofits that are awarded devices.
Under the proposed system, near the beginning of the fiscal year IMS would identify the number of devices and related peripheral accessories
that will be donated to nonprofits organizations and will seek Council approval to proceed with such donations using an incremental approach
that contemplates distributing a number of the identified devices to the identified nonprofit organizations. Such nonprofit organizations will be
selected through open applications for those nonprofits serving Salt Lake City residents. Allocations of the identified devices to the selected
nonprofits would occur based on need and ability to distribute the devices to qualifying recipients. Reporting could be integrated into a budget
amendment or the annual budget or tailored to Council preferences. Consistent donations are crucial for the program's success. This approach
improves operational efficiency, empowering IMS apprentices to prepare devices predictably. This also supports inventory management, avoiding
prolonged storage periods. A regular donation cycle benefits the community and facilitates the City's ability to efficiently donate more devices
each year.
Background/Discussion
SLC Computers for the Community Program, formally known as the Digital Equipment Donation Program, seeks to bridge the technology gap in
underserved communities, increase digital literacy, improve student achievement, and reduce the City's electronic waste output.
In September 2021, IMS and Youth & Family Services (Y&F) successfully completed the initial pilot phase of this program by donating 18 surplus
computers, along with keyboards and mice, to families and individuals who utilize their services.
In the second phase, IMS proposed that the City donate devices to community organizations that serve Salt Lake City's families and individuals in
need of digital resources. Phase two launched Spring 2023, with Salt Lake City donating 146 devices to five community -based organizations.
This was facilitated through a structured application process. Afterwards, the qualifying organizations distributed the refurbished computers to
their clients. All selected organizations have established digital literacy programs and demonstrated a feasible and equitable distribution plan.
Engaging with trusted community organizations substantially streamlined the donation process and ensured recipients receive digital literacy
training and support to successfully use their new device.
In a departure from past donation cycles, IMS leveraged the Apprenticeship Program through the Utah Department of Workforce Services for
computer refurbishment. This innovative approach involved apprentices, as opposed to full-time City employees, in the cleaning, repair, and
updating of devices. The integration of the Apprenticeship Program not only reduces the current refurbishing costs but also offers valuable work -
based learning experience for apprentices.
The recipients of the 2023 donation cycle include:
• Salt Lake Community College's Basic Needs Tech Access Program, dedicated to assisting low-income college students, received 35 devices.
• Nomad Alliance, dedicated to supporting unsheltered individuals, received 25 devices.
• Catholic Community Services, serving refugee and new Americans, received 25 devices.
• Club Ability, focused on aiding low-income Latino families and individuals with different abilities, received 35 devices
Youth & Family Services' Youth City, providing services to low-income children and teens, received 26 devices.

DOCUMENT TYPE: Public Benefits Analysis and Recommendation
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS (see attachments)
• Public Benefits Analysis
RECOMMENDATION:
A.) The Administration recommends that a public hearing be held on the matter of the Public
Benefits Analysis and that the Council consider adopting a resolution approving the
donation of up to 500 surplus computers the City no longer intends to use to local
nonprofits for distribution to community members in need.
B.) IMS proposes a change to improve the SLC Computers for the Community Program,
aiming for more consistent and timely service to community members. The current Public
Benefit Analysis process requires multiple Administrative functions such as preparing the
cost analysis, drafting a transmittal, and preparing a resolution. These steps hinder our ability

to develop a regular donation schedule. Recognizing the pressing need for computers and
growing interest from new partners, IMS suggests transitioning to quarterly donation cycles
to qualified nonprofits. This shift aligns with Utah Code 10-8-2, enabling donations to
nonprofits without conducting a public benefits analysis. While this means City programs
like Youth and Family Services may not directly provide computers, they endorse the change
and are willing to refer families to nonprofits that are awarded devices.
Under the proposed system, near the beginning of the fiscal year IMS would identify the
number of devices and related peripheral accessories that will be donated to nonprofits
organizations and will seek Council approval to proceed with such donations using an
incremental approach that contemplates distributing a number of the identified devices to
the identified nonprofit organizations. Such nonprofit organizations will be selected through
open applications for those nonprofits serving Salt Lake City residents. Allocations of the
identified devices to the selected nonprofits would occur based on need and ability to
distribute the devices to qualifying recipients. Reporting could be integrated into a budget
amendment or the annual budget or tailored to Council preferences. Consistent donations
are crucial for the program's success. This approach improves operational efficiency,
empowering IMS apprentices to prepare devices predictably. This also supports inventory
management, avoiding prolonged storage periods. A regular donation cycle benefits the
community and facilitates the City's ability to efficiently donate more devices each year.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The proposed action will not materially impact the City budget. In addition to the positive outcomes
for the community and the skill development of apprentices engaged in computer refurbishment,
the City stands to realize cost savings through reduced device storage expenses and support for
electronic recycling initiatives.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
SLC Computers for the Community Program, formally known as the Digital Equipment Donation
Program, seeks to bridge the technology gap in underserved communities, increase digital literacy,
improve student achievement, and reduce the City's electronic waste output.
In September 2021, IMS and Youth & Family Services (Y&F) successfully completed the initial pilot
phase of this program by donating 18 surplus computers, along with keyboards and mice, to families
and individuals who utilize their services.

In the second phase, IMS proposed that the City donate devices to community organizations that
serve Salt Lake City's families and individuals in need of digital resources. Phase two launched
Spring 2023, with Salt Lake City donating 146 devices to five community -based organizations.
This was facilitated through a structured application process. Afterwards, the qualifying
organizations distributed the refurbished computers to their clients. All selected organizations have
established digital literacy programs and demonstrated a feasible and equitable distribution plan.
Engaging with trusted community organizations substantially streamlined the donation process and
ensured recipients receive digital literacy training and support to successfully use their new device.
In a departure from past donation cycles, IMS leveraged the Apprenticeship Program through the
Utah Department of Workforce Services for computer refurbishment. This innovative approach
involved apprentices, as opposed to full-time City employees, in the cleaning, repair, and updating of
devices. The integration of the Apprenticeship Program not only reduces the current refurbishing
costs but also offers valuable work -based learning experience for apprentices.
The recipients of the 2023 donation cycle include:
• Salt Lake Community College's Basic Needs Tech Access Program, dedicated to assisting
low-income college students, received 35 devices.
• Nomad Alliance, dedicated to supporting unsheltered individuals, received 25 devices.
• Catholic Community Services, serving refugee and new Americans, received 25 devices.
• Club Ability, focused on aiding low-income Latino families and individuals with different
abilities, received 35 devices
• Youth & Family Services' Youth City, providing services to low-income children and teens,
received 26 devices.
