FROM: Deborah Kaye Clark, Library Director
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AMENDED FOUNDATION BUDGET FOR 1998/99
RECOMMENDATION
To review and approve the attached amended Foundation Budget for 1998/99.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The proposed budget change is recommended to allow for the production of two service spots for

spots would be created: one, discussing the planned giving program and the Library Foundation
and the second, promoting the service provided by the Back to Basics Program or children's
services and programs in general.
Staff proposes that the Foundation approve using up to $3,000 of the $10,000 budgeted for
Children's Learning Center to create the promotional video.
Staff also proposes encumbering an additional $3,000 for the creation of a promotional video for
the Planned Giving Program and supporting the Library Foundation.
FISCAL IMPACT
With this change, the budget remains in balance and the reserves solid. This budget maintains a
reserve of $60,588. The by-laws require a minimum of $5,000 be maintained..
