EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF STATUS OF BUDGET
Library Expenditures:
Summary:
Expenditures at the 67% of the year are at 62%, on track.
Highlights:
5010: Part Time Salaries
We are experiencing growing savings in the category of part time salaries, however we have reached all times highs
in Circulation during the rainy season. Also, we are seeing measurable changes in registration, thanks to the
Children's Library Card drive. We also are dealing with increased numbers of Upland residents as the Upland
Public Library continues to reduce resources and hours open. (Closed on Sundays and Fridays).
5100: Travel & Meetings
No changes since I transferred funds into this account to cover Legislative Day in the Spring and the CODI
Conference that Library Services Manager Robert Karatsu will be attending. This conference is geared to
maximizing the effectiveness of the library's automation system. This is the first conference Robert has been able to
attend since beginning the Library Telethons, four years ago.
5200: Operations
Book purchases are at 64%, so we continue on target for spending in that account.
5300: Contract Services
No changes.
5403: Electric Utilities
Costs are continuing to escalate in this account. We know we will be overbudget in this area--but so will every
other entity in California this year! We will adjust this account at the mid-year budget process.
After School Learning Program
Summary:
We continue to save monies in the part time salaries area.
Library Board of Trustees
Summary:
No change.
-2-
Adult Literacy:
Summary:
Again, experiencing savings in the personnel account, thanks to the Families for Literacy Grant.
55% of the funds have been spent at 67% into the year.
Redevelopment Expenditures:
Summary:
Overall spending is on target. Capital Outlay, where most of the funds remain, is scheduled to be spent by Spring of
this year.
Highlights:
No Change. Project Improvement Costs: Compact shelving for the second floor is going to be installed in February
of 2001. This will allow storage for app. 10,000 items on the second floor of the Library. The Donor Wall is
scheduled to be installed by April of 2001. The remaining project improvement costs are in the hands of the
Facilities Department of the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Bookmobile Expenditures:
Summary:
The Bookmobile budget is a mixture of City funds and State Grant funds. The spending is below where it was
anticipated to be, due to the delay caused by the hoped for funding of the bookmobile by the Federal Government.
Highlights:
1300 Part Time Salaries:
Originally, $42,800 was approved in the part time salaries category of the budget. Since the receipt of the State
Grant for salaries to plan the project, app. $35,000 of those funds are available for reallocation and will be used to
help pay for the refurbishment of a temporary vehicle.
3931 Vehicle Maintenance:
The Public Works budget will be covering all maintenance costs for the Bookmobile. Hurray!
7045 Vehicles:
$55,000 has been encumbered to fund the refurbishing ora temporary Kidsmobile. The refurbished vehicle will be
used as a Kidsmobile until receipt of the permanent vehicle. In the year 2002, it is proposed the temporary vehicle
be turned into a Senior Mobile, with services offered to Senior Centers, Retirement and Convalescent Homes,
Trailer Park Homes and other appropriate sites.

Stafl Report
DATE: March 1, 2001
TO: President and Members of the Board of Library Trustees
FROM: Deborah Kaye Clark, Library Director
SUBJECT: PROPOSED LIBRARY BUDGET PRIORITIES FOR 2001/2002
RECOMMENDATION
After discussion, approve the attached proposed draft budget for the Library for
2001/2002.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Public Library Association (PLA) provides a planning process to assist library staff
and beards in establishing overall service goals in combinations unique to the needs of
their community and the strength of their library. This process helps Library Boards and
staff to focus their energies on three or four major service areas. Attached, you will find
an update of the report indicating what roles your library currently emphasizes, and the
percentage of support to that role, based on the proposed budget figures. There are no
changes to any of the support levels in the proposed budget.
Key budget points:
· Property tax revenue failed to demonstrate strong growth, raising only 1.84%
· COLA's negotiated by the City with the Employee Associations require a 4.8%
increase in salaries for 2001/2002.
· The first budget priority was to create a full time Library Assistant II position for
Bookmobile Services Coordinator
· The second priority was to increase the level of electronic resources available,
while continuing the same level of support for book purchase
· The third priority was to convert part time salaries to a full time position in
Circulation.
· Outreach programs are being supported by the following grant sources:
o Continuation of LSTA grant funding for bookmobile coordinator position for
first quarter of new fiscal year
o Prop.10 Funds, Project YES, that supports the Families for Literacy
Program and various part time salaries
o Continuation of the California Literacy Campaign and the Families for
Literacy independent grant programs.
o Continuation of funding at the current level for Public Library Foundation.
This program funnels $208,000 per year into outreach programs, book
purchases and service hours.
· No funding is contained in this budget for expanding outreach services to include
Senior Outreach. Staff had hoped to budget for a senior outreach program,
starting in January of 2002.
After discussion, staff recommends the Library Board come to consensus on which
service areas they wish their library to emphasize in the upcoming budget process.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Library continues to be a self contained fund, meaning that the funds earmarked for
library programs through property tax and the monies raised by the library make up the
overall revenue stream that supports the Library program. Overall, the proposed budget
for the Library Program should be in balance with the funding that will be made
available through traditional library revenue streams. This budget proposal is balanced.
