Minutes:
The Chair introduced the item, reminding members that if they wished to consider the detail of the report, it would be necessary to exclude the press and public from the meeting. He proposed that the Council supported the option set out in the report for 50 of the laptops to be retained for community use.
Members debated the proposal. It was confirmed that the disposal process would seek to recycle parts wherever possible. It was queried whether more than 50 laptops could be retained for community use, however some of the laptops had very limited battery life, and there are costs associated with this in terms of removing existing data and rebuilding the operating system.
The recommendations, which were seconded by Councillor Sarah Nelmes, were agreed by assent.
