5Salt Lake City Public Library Proposed Budget, Fiscal Year 2021
For more than a century, The City Library has played a unique,
vital role in our civic and cultural landscape, and in the lives of
our residents. We are one of the few spaces truly open to all; a
space where all are met with a deep respect for their inherent
dignity and limitless potential. The Library does not tell people
what to think or do, rather we ask them about their aspirations,
needs, and interests. We guide each individual’s experience. Our
staff, collections, spaces, and programs, fuel our local creative
community, stimulate positive civic engagement, strengthen
our social fabric, and foster an informed, literate, and educated
populace.
We continue to build on the six strategic areas of focus, identified
through conversations with patrons, partners, and community
leaders in 2018-2019. Using Service Design principles, staff are
experimenting with new ways to deliver on our core mission. We
recently implemented a staff recommendation to eliminate the use
of environmentally-unfriendly plastic bags. Staff at the Anderson-
Foothill Branch designed a successful “holds-to-go’’ service that
helps patrons — especially busy caregivers — quickly pick up
items, and reduces demand on limited parking. These are only two
examples of how we are empowering staff to take the lead. We
consistently assess, try new things, and create joyful experiences
that lead to a sense of connection with our community.
City Library staff received a number of distinct honors and
recognitions this year, including:
• Distinguished Leadership Award (American Society for Public
Administration)
• Government Partner Award (Pacific Island Knowledge 2
Action Resources)
• Business Diversity Award (Utah Diversity Connections)
To continue our excellent work across these many spheres,
we must attract and retain a diverse, talented, and passionate
staff. We must critically examine how well our spaces meet the
current and future needs of our changing communities. We must
continue to assess and align our services and resources, keeping
our different neighborhoods in mind. This budget was built to
support our priorities of being a great place to work and modeling
operational excellence.
On behalf of the Board, administration, and staff of The City
Library, we would like to express our deep appreciation for your
continued support as we add to the enrichment and vitality of our
community.
Sincerely,
Luciano Marzulli, Library Board President
Peter Bromberg, Executive Director

April 2020
Mayor Mendenhall, City Council Members, and Residents of Salt Lake City,
6 Salt Lake City Public Library Proposed Budget, Fiscal Year 2021
BE A GREAT PLACE TO WORK
The City Library is fortunate to have staff
who are purpose-driven, industrious,
creative, and deeply committed to public
service. Working in a busy urban library
can be stressful, as we are often a vital
point of contact for the most vulnerable
and marginalized residents in our city.
We witness first-hand the impact that
addiction and mental illness, coupled with
lack of health care, has on our patrons.
Providing compassionate service to all,
every day of the week, is difficult and
emotionally taxing work. Our staff, both
front line and behind the scenes, work
to ensure clean and safe spaces, robust
collections, and a fiscally sound operation.
Because of this, it is vitally important
that we compensate our staff fairly
and equitably, particularly in light of the
significant increases we continue to see
in Salt Lake City’s cost of living. In addition
to providing a Cost of Living Adjustment
(COLA), this budget also includes
our standard merit increase, which
acknowledges the value of experience
and prevents salary-compression
issues. This budget reflects very modest
increases to fund new or re-classed
positions (due to the merger or reclassing
of existing positions), that help relieve
staffing pressures in a few branches and
departments. We have also requested
funds for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
(EDI) consulting, to help guide our EDI
team in supporting a workplace that is
consistent with our values.
CREATE MEANINGFUL OUTCOMES
AND EXPERIENCES FOR OUR PATRONS
Moving into the third year of our Strategic
Roadmap, we are continuing to align staff,
spaces, services, programs, partnerships,
and collections to support meaningful
outcomes for SLC residents. Our six
areas of focus are arts & creativity, critical
literacies, economic success, healthy
together, and inclusion & belonging. This
budget reflects the addition of in-house
IT and Safety Officer positions that
were previously contracted. The most
significant increase is to our custodial
staffing, representing our commitment
to creating a positive and welcoming
experience by providing clean, healthy
spaces for all. The aforementioned
funding request for an EDI consultant
will also help to ensure that all of our
services, spaces, programs, and staffing
are assessed and designed to be inclusive
and equitable for all patrons. A number
of new public service positions will also
bolster the high level of customer service
in the Library, and support our increasing
number of partnerships, and the growth
in programming that the Library offers the
community.
EXHIBIT OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
AND PROMOTE LONG TERM
SUSTAINABILITY
Since 2017, when the Library began setting
aside funds restricted for the care of our
facilities and technology infrastructure,
we have taken a very intentional and
strategic approach to investing in the
long-term sustainability of our institution.
Such investments include the funding of
a facilities conditions assessment, which
has provided us with a 10-year roadmap
to address deferred maintenance. We are
currently creating a 10–20 year Master
Facilities Plan, which will evaluate whether
buildings are appropriately sized, that
Library spaces are adaptable, and that the
geographic locations of our branches are
well-placed to provide equitable service. In
2018, we created a new position to provide
strategic leadership over our Facilities and
IT departments. Following a technology
assessment, we brought a number of
previously contracted IT positions in-
house, which resulted in budget savings.
We have also added to our custodial
staffing, and are combining part-time
positions to create full-time, benefited
positions that result in less turnover. The
current budget request reflects funding
that will allow the Library to continue on
our path of responsible stewardship of
public resources and assets.

REVENUES

GENERAL FUND REVENUE
OVERVIEW
Most revenue categories have been
budgeted based on current year
projections and historical trends. The
following explanations compare
the FY20 and FY21 budgets.
TAX REVENUES
The Library’s primary source of funding
is property taxes. Current year property
tax revenues have been budgeted at the
amount generated by the 2019 certified
tax rate plus an estimated amount for
new growth. Our current property tax rate
is 0.000741, which is 74.1% of the ceiling
established by the Utah State Legislature.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL
REVENUES
The increase in Intergovernmental
Revenue is due additional RDA flow
through revenues and a Community
Wellness Liaison Grant.
CHARGES FOR SERVICES
This category is anticipated to increase
because of additional passport service
revenue.
CHARGES FOR LOST/DAMAGED
ITEMS
Charges for lost/damaged items is
anticipated to decrease because the
Library has ended its contract with a
collection agency. Net revenues will not be
impacted.
MISCELLANEOUS
Miscellaneous revenue is budgeted to
decrease due to lower interest earnings
because of lower interest rates and lower
rents on Library facilities because of the
roof closure at Main for roof repairs.
CONTRIBUTIONS
& TRANSFERS
In FY21, the Friends of The City Library will
increase their annual donation to The City
Library. The appropriated fund balance
transferred to the capital project fund for
anticipated capital projects is higher; due
to the budgeted replacement of the roof at
the Main Library.

14 Salt Lake City Public Library Proposed Budget, Fiscal Year 2021
In FY21, personnel expenditures account
for approximately 70% of the Library’s
overall operating budget (General Fund
less transfers to Capital and Debt Service),
which is commensurate to previous fiscal
years (68% in FY20, 65% in FY19, 63% in
FY18 and FY17). From FY20 to FY21 we
will have added 8.15 FTE. In FY20, we
made an adjustment to bring all of our
safety officers and custodians in-house,
resulting in a 5.5 FTE adjustment.
The FY21 budget proposes a $832
base-wage increase (pro-rated for PT
staff) plus an additional 1.75% increase
to address COLA and an additional 1.5%
merit increase. In order to achieve our
priority of being a Great Place to Work, we
have committed $79,000 to fund tuition
reimbursement for staff getting advanced
degrees or certifications and to reimburse
staff who have paid tuition over the last
two years when tuition reimbursement
was unavailable.
The City Library will continue to offer a
High Deductible Health Plan with a Health
Savings Account contribution. The FY21
budget reflects FY20 actual employee plan
selection with a projected 5% increase
in costs. The City Library covers 100% of
employee coverage and 90% of couple and
family insurance premiums. In addition,
The City Library contributes to HSAs:
$1,000 for single-coverage and $1,500 for
couples and families.
For details on the Library’s staffing, refer to
the Staffing Profile on page 8.
MATERIALS & SUPPLIES OVERVIEW
In efforts to increase visibility and general awareness of library services, The City Library
plans to increase our paid advertising and update environmental designs. Department
requests for technology-related items also contributes to this budget increase.

Funds necessary to meet the debt payments on the Glendale and
Marmalade branches are derived from a portion of the Library’s
certified tax rate designated for such. The designated revenues
are deposited in the General Fund. The amount needed to meet
the debt payment is then transferred to the Debt Service Fund
with excess amounts going toward the operating costs of the two
branches. The City Library is funding the Debt Service payments
one year ahead of schedule — the FY21 transfer will cover the Debt
Service payment for FY22.
