ITEM C88(WCC73)/89(WCC71)
C88/WCC73, a Bond Act issuing $429,000 to finance the purchase and installation of SMART classroom equipment, wireless communication and storage area networks at WCC. C89/WCC71, a Bond Act issuing $85,000 for the same acquisitions and to be used at the Ossining, Yonkers, Mount Vernon and Peekskill satellite locations.
In light of the Board’s propensity not to issue bonds for less than $100,000, members requested these two Acts be combined into a single piece of legislation and bond amount at the 3/21/05 Budget meeting. In order to consider revised version before the committee, it was necessary to receive & file the original versions.
On the motion of Legislator LaMotte, seconded by Legislator
Kaplowitz Items C88 and C89 were received & filed 8-0.
The revised Bond Act, issuing $514,000 in bonds for projects WCC71 & WCC73, was carried:
For Budget: On the motion of Legislator Stewart-Cousins, seconded by
Legislator Bronz 8-0.

For Technology: On the motion of Legislator LaMotte, seconded by Legislator Pinto 3-0.
