subcommittees with staff's recommendation for changes.
Italicized subcommittees are recommended for elimination, staff recommending that their tasks
be assumed by the entire Foundation Board.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: October 14, 1998
TO: President and Members of the Library Board of Trustees
Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager
FROM: Deborah Kaye Clark, Library Director
SUBJECT: APPROVAL TO ACCEPT $48~290 AWARDED BY TIlE CALIFORNIA STATE
LIBRARY AND APPROPRIATE INTO LIBRARY ACCOUNTS
RECOMMENDATION
Approve acceptance of a grant award of $48,290 and appropriate the same into Library Revenue Account
136-3901-5880 and Expenditure Account 136-4532 in the following manner:
1300 Part Time Salaries $17,900 3100 Travel& Meetings $ 500
3900 Library Materials $ 5,000 7047 Computer Equip. $14,000
Operations & Maintenance $ 6,500
Retain $4,390 in revenue unexpended to cover project overhead.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In Spring of 1998, the California State Library offered the opportunity for libraries to apply for funds
under the competitive grant program titled Library Services and Technology Act, funded by the Federal
government. Based on a survey conducted by the Library in 1995 that showed a desire on behalf of the
public for increased services to elementary school aged children as well as providing assistance in
homework, staff chose to design a literacy and learning enhancement program for elementary aged
students.
Called "Back to Basics", the Learning Center will offer one-on-one tutoring assistance for elementary
school students who lack basic skills in reading, writing and math. The Center will also feature four CD
ROM stations, loaded with educational software, available to all students.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$48,290 in grant funds will be made available through this grant. An additional $22,650 in matching
funds are required. The Rancho Cucamonga Public Library Foundation raised over $50,000 during the
1998 Telethon to support children's services and other key library programs and has budgeted $20,000
for this project. The remaining $2,650 will be absorbed by the Library budget or donated by the Friends
//~f4x~e Library. In kind costs will be absorbed by using existing staffand equipment.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: October 14, 1998
TO: President and Members of the Board of Library Trustees
Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager
FROM: Deborah Kaye Clark, Library Director
SUBJECT: APPROVE ELIMINATION OF CURRENT $35 FOR SUBSCRIBING TO
THE MAGAZINE INDEX REFERENCE CENTER
RECOMMENDATION
That the Library Board approve eliminating the existing $35 fee for subscribing to the dial in
service from home that displays the Magazine Index module.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In 1995, the Library Board established a fee for dial in access to the full text on-line database
with the idea that this form of advanced technology could be in some part self supporting. (Copy
of the original report is attached.)
After three years of promoting this product through "The Grapevine", school newspapers and the
Daily Bulletin, staff recommends the elimination of the fee for the following reasons:
1) Only 91 individuals have ever signed up for the service. Since we serve a data base of
70,000 customers, this is figure is incredibly small. Staff would enjoy seeing more use
made of the database, particularly by students.
2) Income for this service has been in decline, rather than increasing. From a high of $1,260
in 1995/96, the funds dropped to $945 in 1996/97 and to $560 in 1997/98.
FISCAL IMPACT:
During the entire three years of offering this product, the library has earned only $2,765.
Presently, those funds can be absorbed through the new income from the fee based Internet
service and the fee based classes currently being offered. In addition, staff recommends
reimbursing current subscribers (10 individuals) on a pro-rated basis. The cost for this would be
//~ximately $134 and would be easily absorbed.

TO: President and Members of the Board of Library Trustees
Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager
FROM: Deborah Kaye Cla~k, Library Manager
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF FEEOF $35 PERYEAR l~O ACCESS TIlE ON-
LINE SERVICES OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA PUBLIC LIBRARY
RECOMMENDATION
That the Board approve charging a fee of $35 per year to members of the public wishing to
access the on-line catalog.
That the Board selection one of the options below for the service charge:
Plan A:
The service charge would cover access to all dial-up elements: the on-line catalog, the
community services database, the full text magazine index.
Plan B:
The on-line catalog and the commurdty data base service would be free. The service charge
would cover only access to the Magazine index and full text plus any new on-line services added
in the future.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Approval oft_his fee would allow the Rancho cuCamonga Public Library to charge for access to
on-line services, considered by staffto be a "value added" service. To participate in this service,
a patron would have to have own or have access to a computer with a modem--twO items that
argue an ability to handle without und,ue hardship the charging of a modest annual fee.
to d ~ "basic"
The Board is asked etermine whether they wish to consider any on-line access a
service and therefore free, or to charge a modest annual fee for all dial in access.
On the attached page is a brief pro/con statement for the two plans proposed by staff.
7
Page Two: On-line fees
Plan A: Charge for all on-line access
Pro: This approach allows greater marketing in selling the fee based service. Since the on-line
catalog, the full text magazines and the data base are all under the same package, any
interest in any, of the elements would encourage the patron to subscribe.
Con: Harder program to manage in terms of how the computer program is written. Would
-. . .- ,..involve more staff intervention, in enrolling the user than Plan B ........
Plan B: Charge only for "value added" service of Magazine Index and full text magazines.
Pro: Easy to manage. PIN code required means tool to manage fee is already in place.
Con: Harder program to sell. Many individuals don't know what the full text magazine could
offer them. Individuals might be more willing simply to use the free services and decide
not to pay $35 for the Magazine product.
While this is the ideal discussion to be undertaken by the newly formed task force on Basic
Service, there is an urgency to get the fee in place before widespread free use makes the public
resistant to the concept of a fee for this unique service.

STAFF REPORT

TO: President and Members of the Board of Library Trustees
Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager
FROM: Deborah Kaye Clark, Library Director
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST TO ELIMINATE "RENEWAL" FEE
FOR BOOKS ON TAPE
RECOMMENDATION
That the Library Board review the attached request from patron Bess Fry and after discussion,
determine if they wish to eliminate renewal fees for the books on tape collection only.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Currently, the library charges a fee to borrow books on tape that ranges from $.25 to $2. Current
policy requires the patron, when renewing the item, to pay an additional rental fee. Ms. Fry
requests that this second rental fee be eliminated.
Staff recommends approval of the request as long as it is limited to books on tape. The revenues
lost would be slight and would not impact over all services and the reception from the public
would be positive.
Staff requests, however, that the Board retain the "renewal" rental fees for video and CD
products to help ensure timely return of a popular item.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Limited impact. Estimates show that library revenues could be reduced by approximately $1,200
if the renewal fee for books on tape is eliminated.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: October 14, 1998
TO: President and Members of the Library Board of Trustees
FROM: Deborah Kaye Clark, Library Director
SUBJECT: REVOCATION OF LIBRARY PRIVILEGES FOR JOE MILAZZO FOR
ONE YEAR UNLESS ACCOMPANIED BY LEGAL GUARDIAN
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board approve staff's recommendation to limit for one year the use of the Library for
Joe Milazzo, age 13, to times when he is accompanied by his parent or guardian.
BACKGROUND:
Joe Milazzo, age 13, has been six times evicted from the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library due
to eating, socializing and horseplay. His behavior has escalated over the last two months to
include belligerence with employees, viewing of inappropriate materials on the Intemet and foul
language. After the last two incidents with staff, someone urinated on the floor of the mens
restroom. Mr. Milazzo was seen in the vicinity.
While his current behavior in using the Technology Center alone would justify banning him from
the use of that facility permanently, the disruptive behavior patterns suggest to staff that Mr.
Milazzo will simply take his misbehavior to another library location and this should not be
tolerated.
Based on this behavior, and consistent with the actions staff has taken in regard to other
misbehaving juveniles in the past, staff recommends Mr. Milazzo be banned from the Rancho
Cucamonga Public Library for a period of one year, unless accompanied by his legal guardian,
Grace A. Miller. This action protects the library, but does not completely eliminate the
possibility that Mr. Milazzo will be able to use the library to support his school work.
I have spoken to Ms. Miller and she appeared to approve of the action and was grateful for the
information on the misbehavior. The attached letter sent to Ms. Miller confirms statements made
about proposed actions and invites Ms. Miller to appear at the meeting of the Library Board if
she so wishes.

Thank you for speaking with me on Thursday, October 8th in regard to the behavior of your
grandson~
As I explained on the phone, on October 14m I am proposing that the Library Board approve
limiting Joseph Milazzo to attending the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library only when he is
accompanied by you for a period of one year, from October 14, 1998 to October 13, 1999.
Presently, Joseph is on a one week ban-again, unless he is accompanied by you.
You and Joseph are welcome to attend this meeting to discuss his behavior and our policy should
you wish to do so. The Library Board of Trustees will be meeting Wednesday, October 14th at a
joint meeting with the Foundation Board that will begin at 7 p.m.. Library Board business,
including the matter regarding your grandson, will be conducted at approximately 8 p.m..
I am enclosing, as a promised, a record of his misbehaviors as logged by our library monitors. I
am very glad that we had the oppommity to speak regarding his escalating misbehavior:"Like
you, I believe that we can turn this behavior around, now that we are working together. We are
also pursuing the other youngsters involved who will also find their library privileges restricted.
Should you have any further questions about the Board meeting next week or the policies
governing library behavior, please feel free to call me at (909) 948-9900, ext. 5020.
Again, thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing you (with Joe, in the Library in the

TO: President and Members of the Library Board of Trustees
FROM: Deborah Kaye Clark, Library Director
SUBJECT: REVOCATION OF LIBRARY PRIVILEGES FOR MARCELLUS
CAT}ICART AND JONATHAN DELAO FOR ONE MONTH UNLESS
ACCOMPANIED BY LEGAL GUARDIAN
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board approve staff's recommendation to limit for one month the use of the Library for
Marcellus Cathcart, age 13, and Jonathan Delao, age unknown, to times when they are
accompanied by parent or guardian.
BACKGROUND:
While their behavior has not been as severe as Mr. Milazzo's, the youngsters cited above have
aided and abetted Joe Milazzo on several occasions. Each has been evicted twice for socializing
and horseplay. Their behavior has escalated over the last two months to include foul language in
the Children's Room.
Based on this behavior, and consistent with the actions staff has taken in regard to other
misbehaving juveniles in the past, staff recommends Mr. Cathcart and Mr. Delao be banned from
the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library for a period of one month, unless accompanied by
parents. This action will impress on them the seriousness of their conduct but allows them to use
the library to support school work.
The parents have been informed of this action and invited to attend the meeting both through a
F-ph~ne call and by a letter. (Copy attached.)

This letter is to follow up on a conversation you recently held with our Circulation Supervisor,
Karen Schneiderwent. The conversation involved the behavior of your son, Jonathan.
As Mrs. Schneiderwent explained on the phone, on October 14th I am proposing that the Library
Board approve limiting Jonathan to attending the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library only when
he is accompanied by you for a period of one month, from October 14, 1998 to November 13,
1998. Presently, Jonathan is on a one week ban-again, unless he is accompanied by you.
You and Jonathan are welcome to attend this meeting to discuss his behavior and our policy
should you wish to do so. The Library Board of Trustees will be meeting Wednesday, October
14th at a joint meeting with the Foundation Board that will begin at 7 p.m.. Library Board
business, including the matter regarding your son, will be conducted at approximately 8 p.m..
I am very glad that we had the oppommity to speak ~egarding his escalating misbehavior. Like
you, I believe that we can mm this behavior around, now that we are working together. We are
also pursuing the other youngsters involved who will also find their library privileges restricted.
Should you have any further questions about the Board meeting next week or the policies
governing library behavior, please feel free to call me at (909) 948-9900, ext. 5020.
Again, thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing you (with Jonathan) in the Library in
the future.
erel.,
Deborah Kaye~ Clar~
