FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, .'
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 3, 2013
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR THE DONATION OF
SURPLUS PROPERTY TO PARRAS DE LA FUENTE,
COAHUILA, MEXICO
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider a resolution for the donation of 11 computers to Grapevine's sister
city, Paras de la Fuente, Coahuila, Mexico.
The Information Technology Department is in the process of replacing many of the
computer towers in departments throughout the city. Normally, the City would store the
computers until an auction and would receive very little money for them.
During the last sister city mission to Parras de la Fuente, Coahuila, Mexico in August of this
year, Brandon Milmo of Casa Madero Winery mentioned that the Quinta Manuelita
Orphanage could use computers if they were available. Mr. Milmo is a big supporter of the
orphanage.
If approved by the Council, staff will work with our contacts in Parras de la Fuente on
transporting the computers to their city.
