LEI BER, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION ANN SASAKI, DEPUTY GENERAL MANAGER ROGER S. BAILEY GENERAL MANAGER SUBJECT: RECEIVE ANNUAL REPORT ON STATUS OF LOANS UNDER BOARD POLICY NO. BP 001 - EMPLOYEE COMPUTER PURCHASE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Central San currently has an Employee Computer Purchase Assistance Program that provides employees with a low-cost resource to purchase a personal computer and/or other authorized hardware for the purpose of improving computer skills. Board Policy(BP) 001, was made effective on July 1, 1995, and most recently amended on February 5, 2015. The policy states that staff shall provide the Board with an annual report including the status of participation and outstanding loans under the program. This memo serves as that annual report. Program Overview Central San charges employee participants at the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) interest rate, so the money earns the same rate of return as it would if the loan amount were invested, rather than extended to employees. Other program highlights are as follows: • The annual funding limit is $30,000. • Allowable purchases under the program include desktops, laptops, tablets, printers, software, and/or related equipment of any brand. • Purchases must meet current District standards and be pre-approved by the Information Technology Manager. • The minimum loan amount is $600; the maximum loan amount is $2,000. • Only one loan can be outstanding at any one time per employee. • The program is administered by the Finance Department. A copy of BP 001 is attached for your convenience. This report will be discussed with the Finance Committee on July 24, 2018.
