RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the Council Technology Application Committee (CTAC) reviews and recommends that the Council adopts the proposed Children’s Internet Protection Act Policy for Hayward Public Library.
SUMMARY
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) E-rate program makes telecommunications and information services more affordable for libraries by providing discounts ranging from 20 to 90 percent for telecommunications, telecommunications services and Internet access, as well as internal connections, managed internal broadband services and basic maintenance of internal connections.
For the City of Hayward Library to qualify for the E-rate program, it must also comply with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA). This item includes a proposed Children’s Internet Protection Act Policy for Hayward Public Library (Attachment II) to address this requirement.
